CONTRACT TYPE: Permanent

WORKING PATTERN: 37 hours per week, 39 weeks per year

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

We are looking to recruit a HLTA to work alongside teachers and other support staff to provide support to groups and individual students. You will take responsibility for classroom assistance, working with class teachers to help promote effective teaching and learning for pupils and support and supervise pupils throughout the school day. The successful candidate will work closely with the SENCO and colleagues who teach children with SEND to help remove barriers to learning, so that all students achieve excellence. If you are hard-working and resilient, demonstrate pride in your work and respect for colleagues and students, and are student-focused and ambitious for what all young people can achieve, we would welcome your application.

Astrea Academy Dearne is an 11-16 secondary academy situated in Barnsley, with around 1150 students. We are within commutable distance from Wakefield, Leeds, Doncaster and Sheffield and are a proud member of the Astrea Academy Trust family of schools. We have the highest aspiration for our students to achieve their very best and grow both as individuals and as members of their community. We are a truly comprehensive and inclusive academy. This is reflected in our approach to all areas of our work.

We are committed to a knowledge-rich curriculum and a traditional approach to teaching, behaviour and culture. We believe that schools must teach powerful knowledge, ’the best that has been thought and said’ and an ‘entitlement curriculum’ for all. We believe in explicit instruction and have been greatly influenced by Lemov’s ‘Teach Like A Champion’, Rosenshine and recent developments in cognitive science. We believe that the creation of a scholarly culture that is warm and strict, disciplined and joyful, where there is ‘purpose not power’, ensuring impeccable behaviour, where teachers can focus on teaching and pupils can focus on learning, underpins everything

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.

What we offer:

Huge support and progression opportunities

A knowledge rich curriculum, built on ‘powerful knowledge’ and a traditional T&L approach built around Rosenshine and TLAC

Collaborative planning with centralised, shared units of work and resources

Disruption-free learning and a ‘warm/strict’ behaviour system

Highly visible/supportive senior leaders who have your back

Centralised detentions, including homework detentions (you do not need to organise/run/chase them at all)

Excellent ongoing CPD, career development and promotion opportunities across the Astrea South Yorkshire region

Opportunity to complete NPQs

An unrivalled professional progression model

What we are looking for:

The successful candidate will be:

Experienced in working with students in an educational setting

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. Someone that does not make excuses for what children can achieve.

Interested in applying?

If this is something you are interested in, looking for a new challenge, have a passion for education or maybe all of the above, take a look at the Applicant Brief to find out more about the role and how to apply.

We actively welcome visits and would be delighted to show you around our academy to appreciate fully our excellent learning environment. Please contact Hannah Peace (Hannah.peace@astreadearne.org) to arrange a visit.
