Applicants are invited to apply for the position of Teaching Assistant (fixed term until 31.08.26) at St Thomas a Becket Catholic Secondary School, part of the Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust.
The Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust comprises of three Secondary Schools and twelve Primary Schools. We have a vision for our Trust that goes beyond our individual academies and that changes our perception from my academy to our academy. Working collaboratively, each academy benefits from others’ strengths and expertise within the Trust, and practically from the services provided and procured centrally.
As a member of our team you will be supported and challenged, so that as well as contributing to students’ success and that of the School, you are personally developed in your career.
We take enormous joy and pride in being a very happy school, where pupils feel safe and cared for and know that they belong to an incredibly special family.
We are proud of our excellent reputation, which is built on outstanding pastoral care in which each individual is known, treasured and supported throughout their school journey, rich wider opportunities and excellent exam results. The relatively small size of the school as well as the way we structure learning, allow us as a staff team to genuinely know each child as an individual, enabling them to thrive and flourish.
We are looking for someone who:
* Will demonstrate a shared commitment to raising standards and provide support to all pupils
* Has high expectations and will encourage pupils to fulfil their potential
* Is committed to inclusion and understands pupils have differing needs
* Has awareness of young persons development and learning
* Is patient, calm and will listen to pupils views
We can offer you:
* A welcoming and supportive staff team
* Support and collaboration from a strong partnership of 15 schools within the Trust
* A commitment to your professional development
* Friendly and caring school and parish community
* A passionate and forward thinking Senior Leadership Team and Academy Council
* An excellent pension package
* Health and wellbeing support
