Description
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. 

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, dedicated, and compassionate Teaching Assistant. The role involves working in close collaboration with subject specialist teachers to provide high-quality in-class support, ensuring that pupils achieve high standards. In addition, the role will include delivering targeted interventions to help pupils make strong progress.

This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of pupils with special educational needs, supporting both their academic achievement and their wider personal development within a supportive and inclusive school community. This post is part time (30 hours per week) term time only.

The ideal candidate will have experience of working in educational settings and an understanding of the requirements of the National Curriculum and GCSE syllabuses. Experience of working with pupils with special educational needs is desirable, but the right personal qualities – high expectations, empathy, and compassion – are essential.

About Our Academy

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 support team of 8 including 5 permanent teaching assistants, 1 apprentice and two Assistant SENCOs. 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.
