Level 2 Teaching Assistant

We are seeking to appoint a passionate candidate who can fulfil the role of Level 2 Teaching Assistant at Archway Learning Trust. Level 2 Teaching Assistants have a leadership and small-group teaching role within the Learning Support Base. These roles are dependent on levels of experience and expertise. However, Level 2 TAs will take on the role of supporting a team of Level 1 TAs. Level 2 TAs are role models for other staff who are developing their Level 1 TA roles and will liaise closely with Pastoral Leads, Curriculum Leads and external agencies where appropriate.

Level 2 TAs work closely with both the SENCo and Deputy SENCo. This is a rewarding role and opportunity for the right candidate, with the flexibility of creating a post that will match existing experience and skills. If you would like the job satisfaction of being part of a passionate and committed team genuinely making a difference to students’ lives, then we would love to hear from you.

The successful candidate will be committed to the students and academy life and will possess the ability to communicate effectively and raise the standards of learning for all of the students with whom they are required to work.

Archway Learning Trust, previously Bluecoat Academies Trust, was formed in April 2014 as a result of the very long and successful history of Bluecoat Academy. We recently welcomed three further secondary schools in Derby to the Trust and opened Bluecoat Trent Academy, a secondary free school in Nottingham, in September 2021.

The Trust comprises Bluecoat Aspley Academy, Bluecoat Sixth Form, Bluecoat Wollaton Academy, Bluecoat Beechdale Academy, Bluecoat Primary Academy, Bluecoat Bentinck Primary Academy, The Nottingham Emmanuel School and Sixth Form, The Long Eaton School, Lees Brook Academy, Alvaston Moor Academy and the Bluecoat SCITT Alliance (School-Centred Initial Teacher Training). 

The growth and development of our Multi-Academy Trust make this an excellent opportunity to join us as we seek to serve a growing number of young people across the region.

In return, we can offer:

• Archway benefits, to include shopping discounts and competitions

• A free and confidential employee assistance programme offering counselling and advice

• Generous pension schemes
