About This Role

Work where it matters most, achieve what matters more

Be part of a team where passion meets purpose, as we work together where the challenge is greatest to change the lives and build the futures of children and young people.

At Tenbury High Ormiston Academy, we are looking to appoint an Apprentice Teaching Assistant to start in September.

During your four terms in post, you will complete a Level 3 in Teaching and Supporting in Learning through on-the-job experience; additional remote training and assignments. You will be supported in your qualification by staff in school as well as externally by the course provider.

We are a truly unique, small, rural 11-16 academy in the beautiful setting of North-West Worcestershire. Our pupils are happy, well behaved and proud of their school. The academy has a strong vein of moral purpose where the child is at the heart of all we do. We invest in our pupils and our staff to ensure all are supported to be the best they can be.

Our academy is a popular choice for children with special and additional learning needs. Numbers of pupils on roll with an EHCP or in receipt of SEN support are above local and national averages. The SEN team consists of our SENCO who leads a committed and dedicated team of two assistant SENCOs and 5 permanent teaching assistants. This team contributes significantly to the provision for all children but, in particular, for those with special and additional needs, working alongside teachers and pastoral support to ensure the very best care and provision for some of our most vulnerable children.

Why work for Ormiston?

Our vision is to create a school system where every child thrives, regardless of background. Our people are at the heart of our approach – they are our greatest asset.

We exist to provide the best learning opportunities every day, in every school for every child. It is the people and teams in our Trust who make this a reality and ensure we have the greatest impact. If you join us at Ormiston, whatever your role, your work will have purpose and meaning

Ormiston, where every member of staff enjoys…

  • The opportunity to build on the legacy of those who came before – being part of one of the longest standing Trusts, created with the sole purpose of enabling children and young people to thrive
  • Working for a Trust nationally recognised for its impact on disadvantaged children – a rewarding, stimulating career where staff are challenged to be the best they can be, for the pupils we are proud to serve
  • Being part of a team and community where you belong – being part of a well-resourced and ambitious network of experts and professionals that work at the heart of communities
  • A supportive environment to grow your career – an extensive professional development programme, alongside flexible working arrangements and generous benefit.

I would encourage all prospective candidates to visit the academy to tour and meet with other members of the staff and our pupils. Please contact Mrs Sheppard (Office Manager and PA) if you would like a tour of the school ([email protected]) or , alternatively, please contact Marie Bradbury (SENCO) on [email protected]. In addition, you can gather further information about our academy from our website and our Facebook page.

Please note that the closing date is Monday 30th June 2025 at 9.00am and we expect to hold interviews week commencing 7th July.
