Learning Support Professional (Behaviour & PSHE) job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join one of the largest not-for-profit Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) in England as a Learning Support Professional (Teaching Assistant) for KS3/KS4. We are a small provision based in Westminster, catering to secondary pupils.

The successful candidate will be based at the Westminster Education Centre, 3-7 Third Avenue, London, W10 4FR.

As a small and close-knit team, we take great pride in our Academy and community. Our pupils leave us with the resilience and skills needed to return to mainstream school and succeed in life.

This is an incredible opportunity for a Learning Support Professional to make a difference and join a great team of people within a supportive, values-led organisation.

Ormiston Academies Trust (OAT) is one of the largest not-for-profit MATs in England with almost 5,000 staff and 30,000 students. We have been around since 2009 making us one of the longest established trusts. Our mission is to be the Trust that makes the biggest difference both inside and outside the classroom.

Our vision is for all young people to have access to the highest academic, social and practical skills required to achieve their full potential, whether going on to study at a leading university or entering the world of work. We are determined to become the Trust that makes the biggest difference, both inside and outside the classroom.

Our key values are:

• Anyone can excel: you don’t have to be exceptionally bright or naturally gifted in order to excel at something. We know hard work, determination and perseverance pay off.
• Enjoy the challenge: just because something might be hard, it doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. We know it’s okay to face setbacks too – they can make you stronger.
• Share what is best: if you’ve done something or created something others would benefit from seeing or having, you should share it. We know our schools keep getting better when we all share what is best.
• Be inclusive: every child and adult should respect and accept that difference is normal, that everyone should be welcomed and included.

OAT is a great organisation to work for. We offer:

• Commitment to your continued professional development
• LGPS
• Employee Benefits and Wellbeing package
• Season Ticket Loan Scheme
• Cycle to Work Scheme
