Job information

Do you want to be part of a team where you will help make a lasting impact on our students, many of whom are disadvantaged, and rapidly accelerate their progress?

Do you want to work in a school where you are free to teach, with impeccable student behaviour and unhindered by bureaucracy?

Netherwood Academy is an 1116 academy which opened in September 2012, set _in an extensive £35 million campus. As part of Astrea Academy Trust, Netherwood Academy is in an exciting period of development._

Under the direct instruction of teaching/senior staff or appropriate Teaching Assistant Staff, Teaching Assistants undertake work/care/support programmes to enable access to learning for students.

Assist the teacher in the management of students and the classroom.

Provide general support in a specific curricula/resource area, including preparation, and maintenance of resources and support to staff and students.

We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives.

We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs.

We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative.

We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child's background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need.

In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.

We value our staff highly and treat workload very seriously. Our systems are high leverage, ensuring you can really focus on your core purpose.

What we offer:

Support and progression opportunities
Excellent support from the Astrea Trust Central team
Highly visible/supportive senior leaders who have your back
Excellent ongoing CPD, career development and promotion opportunities across the Astrea South Yorkshire region
Opportunity to complete further qualifications
An unrivalled professional progression model.

What we are looking for:

Aligned to our values and mission. If you are the type of person who fits with our culture, you will love working here
Someone who passionately believes that all children can achieve, no matter what their starting point, background or needs.

Interested in applying?
