Do you have these core traits to be a successful Change Maker and Teaching Assistant at Bader Academy?


Bader Academy is a special school which opened in September 2020, and which provides 100 places for children and young people, aged 5-19, who have an Education, Health and Care Plan with a primary diagnosis of Communication and Interaction Difficulties.

We are seeking to appoint a teaching assistant to support our students to "be kind, be safe, be ready".


Our ambition and yours will be that Bader is a centre of excellence for both the specialist provision and for promoting the latest inclusive practices across education.


Our children and young people at Bader deserve an education that will change their lives and give them the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

Staff employed in our Academy Trust enjoy a fulfilling career and we focus on releasing your potential and maximising your impact.


About the Trust
Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016 and has the highest ambitions possible for everyone we work with.


The vision for Nexus is that we are constantly "Learning together; to be the best we can be." This vision is what we aspire to and is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.

The position will appeal to experienced teaching assistants and in particular individuals who have other skills to offer like a background in the Arts, Technology, IT, PE or mental health, as we feel these attributes will complement the role well.

You will be supporting learners within their classroom environment as well as their personal and social development during socialising periods through break and lunch times.

The role may also involve supporting pupils who are accessing an alternate provision away from the school environment, or working with one specific pupil on a regular basis.


Whether you are an experienced teaching assistant who has worked within specialist educational needs or someone who has exceptional vocational skills and a real drive to make a difference in children's lives, you must be able to provide our children with aspirations for their futures along with promoting a positive culture in everything you do.


What you can expect

  • An exciting opportunity to join an academy with a fantastic cohort of students and a highly supportive staff and leadership team.
  • A thriving environment where you will be supported and encouraged to think in new ways.
  • An opportunity to join colleagues who will make you proud to be part of our state education system.
  • Access to tailored CPD through Nexus Academies Trust and the Opportunity Area which includes pathways into Initial Teaching Training.
  • Working within an award winning MAT who pride themselves on having friendly and supportive academies who together are helping to transform communities.
