Are you committed to making a difference in a rapidly improving school? If so, we are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Teaching Assistant to join us!

Ofsted October 2023 'Pupils and staff at the school are right to identify the Dean Trust Wigan as an improving school...The school has high expectations for pupils’ academic achievement. Pupils understand how they should behave. Most pupils meet the school’s raised expectations for behaviour. In lessons, most pupils embody the school’s values of ‘be ready, be respectful, be responsible’ through their improved attitudes to learning'.

Dean Trust Wigan is part of The Dean Trust, which has a number of very high performing schools and a proven track record of sustained improvement. The Dean Trust’s core values include traditional academic education, excellent discipline and respect, resulting in improved attainment and progress. “Believe, Achieve, Succeed” has been embraced by all of the schools in The Dean Trust.  

You will join a dedicated team at Dean Trust Wigan who ensure that every pupil is given the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Our teachers strive to pass on their enthusiasm for teaching and learning and engage pupils in fun and relevant activities.

You will work under the guidance of teaching/senior staff to undertake and provide work/support programmes, to enable access to learning for all pupils and to assist the teacher in the management of pupils within the classroom. You may also be required to supervise groups of pupils undertaking activities in non-teaching situations.

• assist in enabling pupils to achieve the highest possible standards
• work motivationally within a team of staff
• assist in raising attainment at all levels
• inspire students to love the subject
• work effectively with staff, parents and the community

This post offers an excellent opportunity for a candidate with a vision to inspire students in a 21st century learning environment. This post offers an excellent opportunity for a candidate who wants to help pupils develop into confident, successful and responsible adults who play an active part in society, regardless of their background or prior achievements.

We are highly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all pupils and we expect all our staff to share this commitment. Enhanced DBS vetting procedures are required for all posts.
