Job overview

At Leigh Academy Bexley we have a fantastic opportunity for a committed and experienced Teaching Assistant to become part of a well-established, highly collaborative, and successful inclusion team.

Our staff work hard to ensure that students receive the highest quality education. We have posts available both within mainstream and our exciting new specialist provision and are keen to receive applications from candidates that are passionate about working with secondary-aged students to support their learning.
Working with students on a 1-to-1 basis, in small groups or with general assistance for whole classes, the role of a Teaching Assistant is varied but fundamentally relies on the continuity of support to be successful. Working under the line management of the SENDCO, you'll provide intervention for learners to ensure they are able to access learning from an academic and welfare perspective.
Our ideal candidates will be patient, empathetic and able to adapt to working with students from different backgrounds and with differing needs. Experience of working with young people with Autism in a specialist provision and also delivering small group interventions would be desirable, but not essential.
Working with us at Leigh Academy Bexley
Leigh Academy Bexley joined Leigh Academies Trust in June 2023 and has provided outstanding academic support and pastoral guidance, so that students can lead fulfilling and successful adult lives: inquisitive, articulate and internationally engaged, our students are defined by their boundless thirst for knowledge, self-improvement and learning.
We believe in providing our young people with an education; one that unlocks curiosity, ignites ambition, and forges a social conscience, equipping our students with the tools they need to have an impact on the world around them. Our teachers lead with professionalism and scholarship; they are experts in their field. All of us are part of a warm and caring family of staff, Governors and Trust colleagues who have the highest ambition and a deep hunger to learn. Our staff receives regular, first-class training to achieve mastery of their craft, amazing support to flourish every day, and a sense of shared moral purpose about the best job in the world.
Our vision is that regardless of background and regardless of their starting point, students will leave us as kind, resilient, independent learners with the right behaviour and attitudes to ensure continuous progress and achievement, ready for the next stage of their education and beyond. We want our students to be successful in their chosen careers, in their relationships and in their interaction with the world. We aspire for Leigh Academy Bexley to be a highly effective and truly inclusive school, reflecting the vibrant, diverse, and dynamic community that we serve. We believe in connecting with our local community and championing our local area.
