St. Edward’s is a very special place with a distinctive Christian ethos. Our staff, parents and our governors are very proud of our school with its excellent team of dedicated teachers, support staff and its enthusiastic and caring children. All come together to create a lively and engaging atmosphere in which to work, teach and learn. Whilst we are inclusive in appointing staff of all faiths and none, we require staff to uphold and participate in our school’s Christian life.
As a result of expanding our Nursery provision, we are looking for a permanent Teaching Assistant who is flexible and happy to work in different settings, including supporting children at lunchtimes where necessary. As this role will initially be based in the Nursery, someone with experience of working in an Early Years setting would be very advantageous.
We would like to appoint someone who:
- is enthusiastic, confident and able to show initiative;
- is an effective communicator with pupils and staff;
- possesses good literacy and numeracy skills;
- relevant training, ideally in Early Years education;
- has experience of working in an Early Years setting, preferably in a school, being a key worker for a group of children and carrying out observations on these children.

Havering Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The protection of our pupils from abuse is the responsibility of all staff within our schools, superseding any other considerations. Therefore Havering Schools comply with the Department for Education ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ guidance.
