Do you want to be part of a team that transform the lives of young people?

Are you looking for the opportunity to make a real difference to children’s lives? Are you ambitious, motivated, and ready to become part of a growing school? Do you have the drive, ideas, and high expectations to help create a truly transformational school? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, research-driven, and teaching-focused environment? If so, we are currently recruiting for a Midday Assistant to join our team at Goresbrook School.

We are an all-through school who have undergone rapid changes within the last few years, and are looking for new dynamic team members to join us and continue this journey. Our school opened in September 2014 with our first Reception cohort and we are growing each year. In our primary phase, we currently have from Nursery to Year 6, with 2 forms of entry in each year group, meaning that workload is shared, and there is always somebody to discuss ideas with.

We have the children; we have the brand new state-of-the-art building; we now need you! If you are passionate about working in education, and are excited by rigorous and innovative curriculum design, we are the school for you. You are very welcome to visit us, even if you don’t end up applying for the post. We are 20 minutes on the tube from Mile End, and just 15 minutes’ drive from East London. We love to have people visit, to participate in children’s learning and see what we offer our children.

We are looking to recruit a committed cover supervisor to join our growing team and assist in covering a range of lessons across the school. You will be working alongside our current cover supervisors, and the Primary teaching team, to provide high quality teaching to students in the absence of teachers. You will need to be pro-active, organised, enthusiastic and able to use your initiative. As part of a small and growing team, a willingness to be flexible and develop as a professional are essential attributes of the ideal candidate. This position is well suited to someone thinking about pursuing a career in teaching and who wishes to gain some further experience before doing so.

The vacancy represents an exciting opportunity to join an ambitious organisation that works within the nationally renowned United Learning Trust. We would welcome applications from candidates who are eager to play an important role in the future of our school.


What we offer as a school:

- Clear purpose. We are all here to make a real difference to students lives

- An environment in which student behaviour is exemplary

- We are a small school and pride ourselves on knowing our students

- Weekly in-school CPD

- External CPD programmes

- Opportunities for promotion and development

If you align with our vision, values, and are committed to ensuring that ‘disadvantaged’ does not dictate educational outcomes, then you will greatly enjoy working at Goresbrook.

About United Learning

United Learning is a large and growing group of schools which aims to provide a life changing education to children and young people across England.  United Learning has schools throughout the country and a strategy of building tight geographical clusters of schools.  Goresbrook School and Walthamstow Academy will form one of these clusters.

Our schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. Our subject specialists, our group-wide intranet, our own curriculum and our online learning portal all help us to share knowledge and resources, simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.

As a group we can reward our staff  better: with good career opportunities, better pay and benefits, and ultimately the satisfaction of helping children to succeed.  We invest in staff wellbeing.  Our academies have eight INSET days per year (with three dedicated to planning).  It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’
