Bilingual Support Assistant

Kenton School is at the cutting edge of modern education. With just under 1,800 students, we are amongst the largest schools in the North East. However, despite our size, we pride ourselves on retaining a family atmosphere and on ensuring that we cater for the needs of all our students, recognising their special gifts or talents.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Bilingual Support Assistant to work alongside our EAL (English as an Additional Language) Coordinator to support individual students and small groups of students to learn and integrate. 

Candidates must possess a high level of English oral and written communication skills and excellent interpersonal skills, combined with the ability to speak at least one other language at a fluent level.

Previous experience working with secondary school-age children would be desirable.

Kenton School offers fantastic developmental possibilities due to its success, size, facilities and forward-thinking management and staff working together to offer the best available chances for our pupils.

If you have the skills, commitment and enthusiasm to succeed in this role, we want to hear from you. In return, we can offer you:

• Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme
• Salary sacrifice schemes, including car, cycle-to-work and childcare voucher schemes
• Free on-site parking
• Free gym access
