Responsible to: Reception Class Teacher (SENDCo) and Head of School
Our Vision
At Malvern Wells CE Primary School, our vision is to let every child’s light shine.
We are looking for an experienced, compassionate, and skilled Teaching Assistant to join our Reception team. The postholder will work under the direction of the Reception Class Teacher, providing additional support for the class and for a number of children with complex and additional needs.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We want someone who is committed to seeing each unique child achieve, belong, and shine throughout their first year in school.
Purpose of the Role
The Teaching Assistant will support the Reception Class Teacher with the learning, development, care, and supervision of children, including those with complex needs.
The postholder will help children to access an ambitious Reception curriculum through high-quality play-based provision, adapted activities, and carefully planned support.
Support should always be purposeful and proportionate. The postholder will use the least invasive effective approach, stepping in when a child needs help and stepping back when they are ready to participate more independently.
