Teaching Assistants

Thank you for your interest in becoming part of the brand-new team at The Keystone Academy, Shrewsbury.

We are seeking highly inspirational Teaching Assistants who can work collaboratively with the class teacher in order to support outstanding lessons and support children and young people with a variety of learning needs, stretching them to achieve their very best possible outcomes.  The staff at Keystone Academy will understand and know how to adapt their curriculum for learners with neurodivergent needs, including but not limited to, Autism, ADHD and speech, language and communication difficulties.  They will understand the importance of nurture and trauma-informed approaches to support the development of social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs and how to incorporate this into daily school life.  

We are looking for outstanding practitioners who can bring creative and innovative ways of working with young people and who are excellent team players.   We intend to build a team that combines the expertise of both mainstream and specialist teaching assistants and so encourage applications from all fields.  

The role of Teaching Assistant is a truly unique opportunity to play an integral part in shaping the learning throughout the school, with creativity and ambition.

I will be more than happy to have an informal conversation if you have any questions, so please do get in touch via admin@theyestrust.org / Tel: 01260 490042.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Ali Bellaby

Headteacher
