Job overview

LEARNING SUPPORT ASSISTANT 

Our school is doubling in size next year and we want to ensure that our students receive the support they deserve in order for them to succeed. At the start of September 2017 we will have 300 students in Years 10 to 13. These students come to us because they have enthusiasm, aptitude and skills in our core specialist areas of engineering and the built environment.  They study these subjects at KS4 and KS5 along with GCSEs and A-levels. 

Some of our students have additional learning needs that require particular support. Most of these focus around Dyslexia. We believe there is no substitute for expertise and want to support these students in all areas across our curriculum and experience so that they can achieve their potential. 

We also think it is important to support students in full group learning sessions, focused withdrawal and small-group sessions. You will be part of a small team of 7 professionals focused on providing the type of support which enables our students to be successful across the curriculum.

About Greater Peterborough UTC

‘Creating the Workforce of Tomorrow’

’Greater Peterborough University Technical College (GPUTC) is a STEM specialist school currently for students aged 11 to 19. Located in Peterborough city centre, the £12 million school opened in September 2016 to help create the city’s future scientists, engineers, designers, architects and construction specialists of the future. UTC’s are secondary schools for young people that are sponsored by a university and local employers. They were set up by the government to encourage young people to study technical subjects and to give them the opportunity to learn the skills that employers are looking for.

GPUTC is a valued member of the Meridian Trust and as such benefits from a supportive network of leadership at senior and subject level and is fully integrated and accessing all support services such as HR and financial support. In 2022, the first year of year 7 students, GPUTC was oversubscribed with many parents wanting not only a smaller school for their child but also one which specialises in a STEM curriculum.  In Key Stage 4, which from 2023 will start in year 9, students can study separate sciences, engineering and the built environment (made up of architecture, design, surveying and construction) along with their core GCSE subjects. Students are also given the opportunity to pick from computer science, art and design and some humanities subjects all of which augment a STEM rich curriculum.  In year 12 students may commit themselves to, from 2023, T ’Levels in ‘Engineering and Manufacturing’ and ‘Health Care Science’ there will also be a traditional route of A Levels in such subjects as Maths, Science and Product Design.
