EAL Teaching Assistant - 35 job summary

We are seeking to appoint an outstanding colleague to assist EAL students in making exceptional progress in our supportive and forward-thinking academy. The successful candidate will provide in-class support, deliver interventions and develop resources in order to enhance our EAL provision.

The post would suit somebody with a TEFL qualification or previous experience of working in a school or with young adults, who has a keen interest in enabling young people to fulfil their potential.

Applicants must have a good level of literacy and numeracy skills. Successful candidates will be expected to be fully involved in academy activities. Additional responsibilities would be discussed dependent upon the experience and qualifications of the applicants.

The academy, based in Higher Blackley in North Manchester, has over 1,600 students on roll and is part of Co-op Academies Trust.

Co-op Academy Manchester was recently judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in March 2023. Ofsted said that:

“Leaders, trustees and governors strive for all pupils at Co-op Academy Manchester to be successful. Pupils are encouraged to demonstrate the ‘ways of being Co-op’ in all that they do.”

“Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They use their expertise to help pupils to learn well in lessons. Teachers who are not specialists in a subject receive appropriate and effective subject-specific training. This enables these teachers to deliver the curriculum equally well.”

“Leaders have thought carefully about the curriculum that they want all pupils to learn, including those with SEND. The curriculum is well organised. Subject leaders have thought deeply about the key knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which this content should be taught.”

All academies in our Trust are united by our Ways of Being Co-op.

These are:

• Do what matters most
• Be yourself, always
• Show you care
• Succeed together

We are looking for colleagues who are up for a challenge; who want to make a real difference to the lives of the children they work with; who are committed to their own professional development and who want to be outstanding teachers, classroom assistants, administrators, leaders, and support workers across a wide range of roles in our academy.
