Teaching Assistant

Part-time: 30 hours per week, term time only, plus 5 days

Outwood Academy Redcar is part of the Outwood Grange Academies Trust. Since working with the Trust our results have more than doubled and we are now second in the Local Authority for progress. In short, this is an exceptional place to build your future, whether you are a student keen to learn or a teacher determined to progress. Our hard-working community is welcoming & friendly; students and staff make excellent progress together, here on the beautiful North Yorkshire coast.

The role of the Teaching Assistant across the Academy is to promote the learning and welfare of students by providing practical and learning support to students, including those with statements of special educational needs, under the direction of a class teacher and our Inclusion Co-ordinator.

You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘Students First’. We believe that all teaching and support staff posts within our Family of Schools are key posts in terms of supporting student success and achievement across a broad range of subjects and experiences. As such we are keen to recruit dedicated and ambitious professionals who will add value to our Academy in both academic terms and through involvement in the fabric of learning and success beyond the classroom.

In line with the Government’s announcement, our academy is open with social distancing measures in place. In place of academy-based interviews, we have set up systems to ensure that alternative options are still available via skype/video conferencing wherever possible. Every effort will be made to try and accommodate any specific requirements so that no-one is at a disadvantage, however we are really keen to ensure that you have as much information to proceed with your application as possible, so if you would like a conversation about either the academy or the position please contact Inclusion Co-ordinator, Dan Harrison, (d.harrison@redcar.outwood.com) and we will be happy to assist.
