Job overview
The Altius Trust is seeking to appoint a skilled Teaching Assistant to support students and teachers across our Academy to provide individualised intervention for those students with English as an Additional Language and International New Arrivals. The role will require successful applicants to support the academic and social needs of identified pupils. This will be done through in-class support and working with small groups of students or individually. Successful candidates will also assist in the development, maintenance and use of resources.
The Altius Trust is an ambitious and growing Academy Trust which currently operates one secondary school, Manchester Enterprise Academy, with another secondary school, MEA Central, set to open in September 2017.
Manchester Enterprise Academy is a thriving 11-18 Academy that is recognised as a centre of excellence in supporting students to achieve outstanding results. In 2015 we were announced as winner of ‘Secondary School of the Year’ at the MEN School Awards with the Academy’s success being recognised both locally and nationally, including the Prime Minister highlighting our achievement in his August 2015 speech. The personal development of students is a strength of the Academy with SMSC provision judged as ‘outstanding’ during our most recent Ofsted Inspection.
Due to our outstanding reputation, excellent results and rapid growth in student numbers, our flagship school, Manchester Enterprise Academy is currently undergoing a £12 million pounds’ extension, with our state of the art campus opening in September 2017.
In September 2017, in partnership with Manchester City Council, we will also be opening our brand new Academy, MEA Central, proudly serving the Manchester communities of Rusholme, Withington, Fallowfield and Levenshulme. The purpose built brand new Academy has been designed to facilitate excellent teaching and learning and also provide fantastic facilities in the arts, sport and digital learning.
Our Academy has developed an ethos of hard work, with all staff and students working together to ensure that the high standards and expectations that are set are achieved. Successful candidates will be required to embrace this ethos, learn from the staff around them and utilise their own initiative to provide excellent classroom support and aid in the development of identified students. The successful candidate will have very good background knowledge in English and relevant qualifications, as this will enable the students to access the knowledge and understanding that is required.

In order to deliver our vision of a fantastic future for all our students, it is important that they achieve the best academic results possible. Our vision of a “Fantastic Future for All Our Students” is easy to understand, but complex to achieve, as the future evolves so rapidly around us. Students have to adapt in order to build themselves a secure and resilient future. We focus relentlessly on the MEA Way, of Safe, Respectful and Ready. The business partners who lead the Trust help us to complement academic achievement with the other skills that employers demand of their staff. Enterprising, entrepreneurial and networking skills, team working, presenting information and project management are all part of our Fantastic Futures curriculum and, allied to our Pastoral Pledges and aligned to our outstanding Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) provision.
We work incredibly hard to attract the best teachers and our teacher training provision is graded outstanding by Manchester University. We believe that our teachers’ expertise needs to inspire our students by allowing them to shape and craft exciting learning experiences. Our teaching model emphasises excellent classroom dynamics between staff and students. Exams are a serious business, learning is an emotional journey – students who enjoy learning perform far better than those who are uninspired.
