The Trust is seeking to appoint a self-motivated and committed Education Support Assistant to join the Archway Learning Trust. The role would be ideal for anyone who is considering a role within education and who would like to gain more experience. It would be an ideal platform to apply for Teaching Assistant or Year Leader roles or to consider Teacher Training in the future.
The successful candidate will need to be flexible as their daily tasks will be varied and could change will very little notice! On some days, the candidate will be deployed as a Cover Supervisor, covering both planned and unforeseen absences of teaching and educational support staff. They will also support the Pastoral Team, running the Independent Learning Unit for students if their behaviour falls short of our high expectations. This includes elements of Behaviour Mentoring and implementing interventions. They may also spend part of their day in the Library, supervising lunch or homework clubs for our most vulnerable students.
We would be delighted to hear from enthusiastic and committed colleagues looking for the opportunity to help shape the learning experiences of our students in order to meet and beat their potential. The most important attributes we are looking for are a can-do attitude and the desire to be part of a team.
