Job description
The Vale Academy are looking to appoint a Teaching/Care Assistant to join our academy in April 2024 after the Easter break, on a temporary, part time basis until June 2024.
Do you want to work for a Trust that is transforming educational outcomes for students in some of the most deprived areas in the North of England? If so, this could be the role for you.
Your new role
As a Teaching / Care Assistant, you will provide one to one personal support for pupils with additional needs. You will provide special educational and/or medical support to ensure their successful engagement with and access to learning. You will need to maintain professional records and appropriate notes in relation to the individual pupil.
If you feel you have the necessary skills and experience required for this position, then we would very much like to hear from you.
Your new school
The Vale is a successful and high-achieving 11-18 academy which has an excellent reputation and an established trend of high student outcomes, which are consistently above those achieved nationally. Indeed, 2018 outcomes placed the academy in the top 5% of schools in England for overall progress and its attainment at 4+ and 5+ in English and Maths was the highest in the area. This high achievement has also been sustained in 2019 and through centre assessed grades in 2020 and teacher assessed grades in 2021. Provisional results for 2022 see this trend continuing with students’ performance in science being significantly above national averages.
The academy is situated in Brigg, North Lincolnshire and serves a largely rural community. Brigg itself is a historic market town on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Many of our students travel a considerable distance to school.
In January 2017, the academy moved into a new building which provides state of the art facilities and an outstanding learning environment for both students and staff. The Vale also offers an extensive and varied programme of extra-curricular activities to support a rich and rounded education, both within and beyond the classroom, and has a particular specialism in music.
Why join us?
Staff across the trust are talented and enthusiastic, and all contribute to the trust’s success story.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an outstanding team within a high-performing multi academy trust with exciting career prospects for successful applicants.
We offer an extensive range of opportunities, incentives and benefits with this post including:
- Holiday Entitlement: minimum 35 days (subject to pro rata if working part-time and dependent upon salary and continuous service) including statutory Bank Holidays.
