Job overview
Job Title: Midday Support Assistant
Location: Esteem North Academy, Barrow Hill site
Grade/Scale: Grade 5 (Points 04-05) Actual Salary £5,372 - £5,584
Start date: ASAP
Contract: 10 hours per week, Term Time Only, permanent
Esteem Noth Academy is an AP academy for permanently excluded pupils or those at risk of exclusion. We currently have 3 sites in the north of Derbyshire and have around 220 pupils on roll over these 3 sites. This role will be based at the Barrow Hill site which caters for primary aged children.
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic individual to support the team and work to ensure that the lunchtime provision is effective and can allow the site to continue to function. Lunches are out- sourced to an external catering company and we have arrangements to collect from the neighbouring school. This midday post is a new role that is now required to support the staffing team. There may be 15-20 pupils on site and they have lunch on a rota basis currently. Pupils may have varying behavioural and educational needs including ASD, ADHD, ODD and social, emotional, and mental health needs. Duties will include collection of the lunches, serving to pupils, distribution over the site, supervision of pupils over lunch and cleaning away afterwards so that lessons can continue swiftly. Staff will also be working with pupils and so this role is to contribute to the supervision required. We require support with the organisation and clearing away of breakfast, and of lunch distribution. This post is available initially on a temporary basis, however this may lead to a permanent position.
Reporting daily to the Site Lead, the ideal candidate will be experienced in food hygiene, motivated and a caring individual who has a passion for supporting children and working as part of a small team. The School Business Manager will line manage this post.

Welcome to the North East Derbyshire AP Academy and thank you for your interest in our Academy.
The North East Derbyshire AP (alternative provision) Academy provides education to students who are at risk of permanent exclusion or who have already been permanently excluded from mainstream education. Our provision caters for students in Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, at sites located in Chesterfield and in the High Peak.
Every child deserves an education. Our primary aim is to support and re-engage young people, enabling them to think positively about their future pathway, and life after the Support Centre, whether that be re-integration into mainstream, further education or employment. Our Vision: "Inspire, Achieve, Exceed"
Our Pupils will:
- Feel safe, valued and trusted
- Recognise and achieve their full potential
- Take responsibility for their behaviour, and make healthy lifestyle choices
- Be positive about themselves and their future
- Be tolerant of others, and of the beliefs and views of others
- Be successful learners, both independently and when working with others
- Be self-motivated and have high expectations
We will achieve this by:
- Creating a safe learning environment, free of stigma and negativity
- Celebrating the success and achievements of every member of the learning community
- Establishing nurturing and supportive relationships between staff and pupils
- Setting high expectations for behaviour and academic success
- Providing a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum that provides the skills, confidence and qualifications to access opportunities in life
- Innovating learning, to engage and inspire
- Promoting tolerance and mutual respect
- Providing opportunities for students, parents and carers to voice opinions which form part of the decision-making process
- Providing an inclusive programme of learning opportunities and experiences that promote engagement
Whilst the majority of our students have been permanently excluded, we work closely with local school clusters and the local authority to provide education opportunities to young people who are at risk of exclusion. Such placements have been highly successful in preventing numerous permanent exclusions in Derbyshire.
We are committed to working in partnership with young people, their parents and carers, their schools and other agencies to re-engage and enable them to become successful learners and responsible citizens. Where students are able to demonstrate positive behaviour and a desire to achieve, we aim to help them transition back to mainstream school. For those who require a more alternative approach, we provide a balanced and varied curriculum, delivered through high quality teaching and learning.
Alternative Provision is not a last resort for young people. For some it is the most appropriate way to meet their needs and put them back on a pathway to success.

Yours faithfully,
Janine Dix
