As our school continues grow and as we say goodbye to two members of our school team 
who are following new paths, we are looking for 3 wonderful TAs to support some of our 
children with additional needs. We have 2 x 32.5 TA posts to support children and a 
further 19.5 hour post. 

We would be happy to consider an apprentice whether they are straight out of college or 
for somebody considering a new career path (an apprentice would be offered an 18 
month contract whilst they complete their apprenticeship)- Apprentice posts could only be 
offered for 32.5 hours (including one day a week learning). 

We would be happy to consider part time roles enabling the 32.5 hour posts to be shared.

One of the most important things in our school is a sense of Belonging and Justice, as a 
result of this, we need anyone who applies to work with our school to also recognise the 
importance of the school being a space where everyone belongs. Most of the roles will 
involve some, if not all 1 to 1 work, small group work, some general support and will 
include playground duty.

Please apply if

wonderfully

● You are hardworking 
● You like to be outside

Please don’t apply if
● You only like to be indoors or melt when it gets wet
● You like to be in charge (the children are in charge here) 
● You like to stay clean and tidy - we love mud and mess 
● You think children should be seen and not heard - this lot are a noisy, crazy,

information is included in the application pack available - please email 
office@grayrigg.cumbria.sch.uk for a copy of this.
