Summer Fields are seeking to appoint a Teaching Assistant (preferably with previous experience and qualifications) to work in the Pre-prep.

Summer Fields is one of the premier boys’ prep and pre-prep schools in the country, situated in 70 acres of superb grounds in North Oxford. The school has an excellent academic reputation and is extremely well resourced.

In September 2018 we opened a brand-new Pre-prep, catering for boys from Reception to Year 3. The school is housed in Newton, one of the oldest and most historic buildings on the school’s site. This is a state-of-the-art development and provides a purpose-built environment for up to 80 boys aged from four to eight, whilst allowing the boys to use all of the Prep school facilities on a daily basis.

We are seeking to appoint a Teaching Assistant (preferably with previous experience and qualifications) to work in the Pre-prep. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of a class teacher but must demonstrate: independence and a capability to take small groups of children, enthusiasm for teaching and working with children, and a commitment to the highest levels of teaching and learning for all pupils. Applicants must have strong communication skills, the ability to work as part of a small but cohesive team, and the skills to create a warm, welcoming and happy environment within the classroom and Pre-prep.

The post would also suit a graduate looking for school-based experience before furthering their teaching career. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to lead or join the after-school programme and contribute to the extra-curricular activities programme.

Applications should be submitted via the school website recruitment portal by Sunday 10 November.

Summer Fields is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff to share this commitment. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
