We are looking to appoint enthusiastic and committed teaching assistants to join our inclusion team. Teaching Assistants work with different students in a range of faculties and experience of the 11-16 age range is desirable but not essential. Normal working hours are 31 per week over 5 days but applications for fewer days e.g. 3 days (i.e. 18 hours) would be considered.
The school has developed a number of services and benefits for staff including such things as free coffee/tea at break time, parking, annual flu vaccinations, access to Cycle to Work, Computer and Childcare voucher schemes, corporate gym membership, staff takeaway meal service through Henry's Diner, long service awards and social events organised by the Staff Committee. There is also an opportunity for the children of staff to access the excellent education available at Prince Henry's in line with the Admissions Policy.
Our school is a successful and over-subscribed comprehensive school with over 1500 students – including 290 in the Sixth Form. We have served the market town of Otley and the surrounding area, approximately 12 miles from Leeds, for over 400 years.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students and an Enhanced DBS check will be required for this post. We aim for diversity within our workforce.

About Prince Henry's Grammar School
Prince Henry’s has a well-deserved reputation for high standards and excellence dating back to its Royal Charter of 1607 when the core values of hard work, discipline, high achievement and ‘virtue’ were first established.
As a popular and highly successful comprehensive school with over 1660 students, including around 320 in the Sixth Form, we continue to deliver outstanding education to young people. Such high standards really matter to us – in both the academic and the broadest sense. This is why a visit to our school reveals exemplary standards of student dress, behaviour, learning and achievement – evident each and every day. At Prince Henry’s, we prepare students of all abilities for success, investing time to develop the creativity, confidence, resilience and ICT skills of all members of our community. We value each and every one of our students and they are at the very centre of all that we do. By recognising their unique needs and aspirations, ensuring equality of opportunity and a caring environment, all our students are able to flourish and achieve their best. This is why we are consistently one of the very top performing schools in Leeds and one of the “Top 100” best performing non-selective secondary schools across the country.
The governors and staff at Prince Henry’s are committed to providing our students with an education that supports not only their academic achievement, but also their personal development and well-being. The very wide range of enrichment activities available is evidence of this. We also use our heritage as a Specialist Language College to ensure all members of the school community appreciate the richness and diversity of the world and have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities as citizens of the global community.
As part of The Collaborative Learning Trust, we place children at the very centre of everything that we do. We believe that the provision of key central services by the Trust enables the school to focus even more on providing an outstanding school experience for children and young people. The Trust’s vision for outstanding, inclusive, nursery to 19 education can only be achieved by building strong partnerships and sharing expertise.
