Description

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY USING THE DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL WEBSITE, PLEASE SEE DETAILS BELOW.

Esteem North Academy is seeking a flexible, committed, enthusiastic and highly skilled Intervention Assistant, to deliver phonics, literacy and reading interventions at our new site to be based in the Chesterfield or surrounding area. The academy provides statutory education to children who are at risk of, or have been, permanently excluded. Pupils who attend the academy have challenging and often complex needs, and exhibit behaviours that prevent them from attending a mainstream school. A significant majority are weak readers with reading ages well below their chronological age.

Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with Read Write Inc Fresh Start or of another Phonics programme.

An affinity for pupils with behaviour, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity.

Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You will be working predominantly with pupils on a 1:1 basis and so must be able to build relationships.

You will be responsible for working with the Site Lead and Phonics Lead to develop our phonics programme and ensure that we have the required resources and books.

You will also support with staff CPD and a whole academy ethos of encouraging all opportunities for reading. This can occur remotely.

The role will be based from the new site in the chesterfield or surrounding area and mileage claims are included in this role for travel to other locations.

There may also be travel to our other academy sites for meetings, Inset and CPD. You are required to have daily access to transport with business use included on your insurance. You may be required to transport pupils in your own car.
