Job overview
About you
We are looking for four Home Learning Supervisors on a Monday only from 2.45pm to 4.30pm during term time. The role would suit someone that is used to working with teenagers or ex-teachers, but if you have no experience in this field then training would be given. The students will have been given home learning from their subject teachers and will use the resources in our learning resources library, which include computers and books; you will facilitate them to complete this. Some students will require more support, but you will be made aware of this. The idea is to insist on a purposeful and supportive learning environment to ensure that the students are able to complete their home learning to the best of their ability.
The successful applicants will have patience, empathy, excellent communication skills, ideally recent experience of working with children aged 11–16, and good organisational skills, plus GCSE equivalent in English and Maths.

About Weydon Multi Academy Trust (WMAT)
In 2017, when a group of local headteachers wanted to work together to create even better opportunities for their students and staff, the Trust was formed.
There are currently 12 schools in the Trust – five special schools (The Abbey School, The Park School, The Ridgway, Clifton Hill and Brooklands School) together with five secondaries (Farnham Heath End, Rodborough, Weydon, Woolmer Hill School and Frogmore Community College) and now two Primaries, (Crondall and Beacon Hill Primary School). As a Trust, we are very positive about the difference we are making. As individual schools it is important that we retain the local context and identity of our unique academies, however we are ‘Stronger Together’ and joining our Trust means that you will also have the benefit of working with colleagues across the MAT. The benefits of working together and the support that you will receive will ensure that, in your career with WMAT, you will develop not only the staff you lead or the students you teach but also yourself. Our ambition is clear: to make WMAT a Trust that is outstanding both for the students that learn here and also for the staff that work here. All our academies are full and oversubscribed, a glowing endorsement of our success. Thank you for your interest in this position. We are inspired by the brilliant people who work in our Trust. Why not make an application to be part of a really positive organisation?
