Teaching Assistant

3 x Teaching Assistant posts available

37 hours per week, Term Time (working hours may be negotiable for the right candidate)

We are seeking to recruit Teaching Assistants with experience and a passion for working with children aged 11-16 with SEND, behaviour, social emotional and mental health issues. This is an exciting time to join Edgar Wood Academy as we are a new and expanding school with a current intake of 480 students within Years 7, 8 and 9. This position presents an excellent opportunity for candidates who are potentially looking to gain experience to progress into teaching or for those who aspire to work within the area of SEND and/or Social and Emotional Mental Health. We have also recently moved into a modern, state-of-the-art building offering stunning views of the countryside, coupled with a convenient access to several motorway links. 

To work at Edgar Wood Academy, you must aspire to be an outstanding colleague, with a willingness to share and learn. We wish to appoint someone who will help us to make a positive difference to the lives of young people in the borough. You will need to have a flexible approach as you may be required from time to time to set aside subject interests to consider the broader welfares of the School and your own professional development.

We promise a supportive and enjoyable working environment and the resources needed to carry out the role to the highest standards, including a bespoke professional development programme to support you with your future career aspirations.

Further details about the role can be found in the Application Pack.
