22 Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier of the Chairman of the States Employment Board regarding the contractual terms of teaching assistants: [OQ.205/2018]
Question:
Will the Chairman inform Members under what contractual terms teaching assistants are employed and, if arrangements other than permanent contacts are in use, state why?
Answer:
Teaching Assistants are employed under Civil Service Terms and Conditions. Some Teaching Assistants are utilised on a fixed term basis. This may happen for the following reasons:
to work on a one-to-one or small group basis with pupils that may have been assessed as having special educational needs;
to work on time-limited interventions with children with additional funding under the Jersey Premium programme;
to cover maternity leave, or
to cover long term sickness absence
