We are searching for the best education professionals to join our trust. Are you passionate about making a difference to our children’s learning? Do you understand the importance of education? 

Pool Hayes Academy are looking to appoint an experienced and professional Level 3 Learning Support Assistant, with a real drive to enhance students’ experience of secondary education. The successful candidate will improve the social, emotional and mental wellbeing of identified vulnerable students in order to increase their academic outcomes. The role will include working with students with special educational needs and also includes working with students who are hard to reach and may have difficulties with attendance. The Level 3 Learning Support Assistant will deliver elements of the academic curriculum, with guidance from subject leaders, to enable students to achieve exam success.

The ideal candidate will hold GCSE level 4/C+ in a range of subjects including English and Maths, hold a level 3 teaching assistant qualification and have previous experience of working with young people who are vulnerable or hard to reach.

Why choose Pool Hayes Academy? We have experienced substantial growth in recent years and the academy is now a provider of choice in the area and is over-subscribed.

Our vision for Pool Hayes Academy means that any pupil regardless of circumstance can fulfil their potential. Furthermore, we believe that educational success leads to empowerment for our young people and the freedom to make more choices over their future.
