TEMPORARY ASSISTANT LEARNING COACH

Required for January 2018

1098 hours per annum, worked over 39 weeks

Salary Range: £9,697 - £10,209 per annum

Imagine what’s possible…

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated member of staff to join the College’s Special Educational Needs Coordination Team to support students with a range of Special Educational Needs, including learning, emotional, social and behavioural difficulties, helping them to reach their full potential. The successful applicant may provide support across all subjects but their primary focus will be in mathematics. A strong grasp and passion in mathematics and an ability to use that to assist young people in their understanding of mathematics is, therefore, essential. Support is provided in mainstream classes as well as in small groups and by individual intervention. 

Additionally, you will have high expectations of student achievement and behaviour, good communication skills and a commitment to working as part of a team. 

This post is offered on a fixed term basis until December 2018 to cover a temporary increase of workload in the College due to the admission of additional SEN students. 

Newton Abbot College (“Good” OFSTED March 2014) has undergone rapid change, including significant improvement to examination results at Key Stage 4 and 5. We have exceptional expectations of our students and staff and we welcome applicants who share our commitment to place student learning at the centre of everything we do. Our induction programme is excellent and all staff are involved in an innovative CPD programme.

Sounds interesting? Then get in touch.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students and expect all staff to share this commitment. If successful, you will undergo Disclosure and Barring Service and employment checks.

Newton Abbot College is a mixed 11 –19 Academy with over 1000 students on roll with a large and diverse Sixth Form. Our recent full section 5 Ofsted inspection in April 2019 described us as, "a  harmonious school where pupils are thriving" and went on to note that, "pupils are respectful of each other and adults.  Their behaviour is consistently of a high standard."  

The College has undergone rapid change including significant improvement to examination results at Key Stages 4 and 5; levels of progress over the last few years have been outstanding and are predicted to improve further over the coming years. We are determined to build on our successes and, as a College with Academy status, aspire to be outstanding in all we do. We offer a real challenge and excellent professional opportunities to colleagues who are keen to contribute their drive, creativity and high expectations to our go-ahead College’s future.

Newton Abbot College was originally established in 1904 as the Newton Abbot town Grammar School, becoming Knowles Hill School in 1975 with the introduction of the comprehensive system.  In 2008, the school became Newton Abbot College.  Along with a new identity and uniform came a strong ethos of the highest expectations for student learning and progress.  In 2011 we gained Academy status.  Today, the College offers 11-19 year old students a challenging curriculum in a calm, purposeful, well-ordered community.

We are known for our high standards of teaching and our focus on student achievement.  At the heart of everything we do is the individual who learns here. Our focus is on giving them a complete learning experience so that they leave us as happy, confident, knowledgeable young people.  For that to happen, our teachers must stimulate and challenge them in the classroom and beyond.  We treat all our students as individuals.  We set targets and track progress so that no student can become invisible.  We are recognised leaders in this practice.  We endeavour to give our students the skills they need to become independent lifelong learners.
