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
