The successful candidate will be predominantly based at Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre Primary School; however candidates must be prepared to work flexibly across the federation should the need arise

The Heritage Coast Federation schools have a supportive, hardworking staff; bringing together two village schools under one Executive Head Teacher and one Governing Body. Our Federation brings lots of opportunities for collaboration, development and professional expansion. We are a warm, inclusive family school with a strong Christian ethos, a sense of community and a commitment to excellence for all of the children in our care. We aim to ensure that our children feel

safe, happy and achieve their potential as a unique individual and as a learner. Christian values are at the heart of all that we do and the school’s Christian vision of ‘Flourish, Succeed and Let Your Light Shine’ is embedded in the daily life of the school.

We expect the very best from our children and in return, we aim to give them the very best education. In this way, you will need to be:

• Determined and inspirational; demonstrating passion and love for the children you work with;

• Able to work collaboratively and flexibly as an effective team player;

• Highly passionate and creative with good organisational skills;

• Committed to high-standards and high expectations;

• Willing to support the Christian ethos of the school;

• Candidates are required to have the Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification or be willing to undertake this training as this is an essential requirement for the role;

• Willing to learn and be keen to access CPD to further develop understanding of how to effectively support the progress of our amazing children.

• Motivated children who show excellent behaviours, a thirst for learning and are encouraged by their supportive parents;

• A high-performing, dedicated and professional team;

• A commitment to outstanding professional development with cross-Federation opportunities;

• A warm, collegiate and supportive environment in which to work, learn and develop.

Although the post is mainly based at Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre Primary School, successful candidates will be offered a Federated contract which means that they have the capacity to experience both schools and may be asked to work in either school.
