Inspire their remarkable with us

If you want to work in a village setting with wonderful well behaved children, supportive leadership and tailored professional learning opportunities then we want to hear from you!

North Thoresby and Utterby Primary Academies are two schools, hard federated, with enormous potential and great children. We are looking to appoint a self-motivated and highly committed Teaching Assistant Apprentice  to work within our schools at an exciting time of change.

You will complete a Level 3 Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship Standard.  You may also be required to complete English and maths functional skills (depending on existing qualifications). Further information about the apprenticeship programme can be found here: https://www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/teaching-assistant-v1-0

Your Trainer will meet with you in the workplace every 4 weeks. In between these meetings you will have dedicated time away from your job to work on the apprenticeship and collate evidence for your apprenticeship e-portfolio with ongoing support from your Manager and Trainer.

This is an exciting opportunity to be in a real job, with real variety, from day one whilst working towards a qualification. The successful candidate will have excellent people and communication skills and will be flexible to adapt to changing situations.

To be eligible for the Apprenticeship, applicants must have resided in the UK or EEA for 3 years prior to the start of the Apprenticeship. Please note: applicants must not have already completed a Level 3 Teaching Assistant apprenticeship.

Please note: AET has their own in house apprenticeship scheme and do not work with any other training providers to deliver Apprenticeships.

We passionately believe that every child can discover their own remarkable life. It’s what motivates us around here. We know this vision requires something extra. Which is why at AET, you’ll find more. More opportunities, so you can forge your own path. More care and support, so you can prioritise what matters most. More purpose, for you and for the children we’re inspiring.

We offer:

  • More training and development, so you can get better at what you do - Varied and stretching continuous professional development opportunities.
  • More support for you and your loved ones - A health cash plan, employee loans and savings scheme, discounted gym membership and employee assistance programme.
  • More technology so you can make more impact - G Suite for Education embedded throughout. Collaborative cloud technology gives you access to the latest tools, when and where it suits you. More tech enabled classrooms mean less time spent on admin.
  • More reward - A generous and flexible Local Government Pension scheme for support staff.
  • More possibilities - To inspire children to find their remarkable.

This post is fixed term and is required to commence September 2021.

Closing date: Friday 25th June 2021

This will be a fixed-term position and the duration of the apprenticeship will be determined by the job role and current skills.  The typical duration of the apprenticeship is 21 months, however, can be longer or shorter depending on existing knowledge, skills, and experience, up to a maximum length of 26 months.

About Utterby Primary Academy

**Please scroll to the bottom of this page to view our live vacancies**

Welcome to Utterby Primary Academy, a school with enormous potential and one where I am proud to lead. Utterby has the ambition, the expertise and the students to become an outstanding school. Join us and be part of this journey!

Here at Utterby Primary we share a special and unique learning community with our partner school North Thoresby Primary Academy, and we are proud to serve the village of Utterby near Louth, and surrounding areas. Our staff commute not just from Louth, but from Cleethorpes, Grimsby and North East Lincolnshire.

I have been at North Thoresby and Utterby for six and a half years, having been Head for a year and a half, and I am proud to say that I have enjoyed every one of them! I am fortunate to have a dedicated staff team to ensure that all the children make the best progress they could possibly make and, that all students attending the Academy, whatever their back-story, have access to the very best educational experiences possible.

If you want to work in a village setting with wonderful well behaved children, supportive leadership and tailored professional learning opportunities then we want to hear from you!

The children benefit from smaller than average class sizes, a teaching assistant in each class to help support with maths and literacy and our mini bus service which gives them access to learn in the outside world.

In order to continue to move forward, it is absolutely vital that we attract the right calibre of professional to work alongside our dedicated team of staff; a colleague who shares the clear vision that the child is at the very heart of everything we do; a colleague who is able to enjoy positive, professional relationships with young people; and, perhaps most importantly, a colleague who can demonstrate high levels of resilience and emotional intelligence when dealing with, at times,  complex and sensitive situations.

We are part of the Lift Schools network of schools, which provides a high degree of support and expertise to the whole school community and we enjoy partnerships with other Lift Schools around the country.

If you feel you have the skills, expertise, energy, enthusiasm and passion to join the staff team here, please ensure you submit an application and visit us.

In the meantime, I very much look forward to hearing from you. I appreciate the amount of time that goes into an application, so thank you in advance for considering joining us.

With very best regards,

Mrs Helen Redmond (Executive Head)
