Literacy Teaching Assistant - Fixed-Term for 2025-2026 job summary

We are seeking a Literacy Teaching Assistant on a fixed-term basis for the academic year 2025-2026. This post will end on 31 August 2026.

All of our Literacy Teaching Assistants play an important role in assisting with support for students, to enable them to access the full range of curricular opportunities (academic and enrichment) the College has to offer.

The post holder will work under supervision and direction of the Senior Literacy Teaching Assistant, usually outside the classroom, working with students who need support to fill gaps in literacy and reading. They will be part of a diagnostic literacy team so that precise diagnosis can be followed by evidence-based strategies, which support reading fluency; phonics and blending, and comprehension. The post holder will form a crucial part of a professional team and will receive precise training.

Under the guided direction of the Assistant Principal and the Senior Literacy Teaching Assistant, the post holder will often be required to support learning, which takes place outside of the main teaching area with small groups or one-to-one as required. This post includes administration and assessment elements so that we can ensure all literacy catch-up interventions are tailored to the students’ required needs.

We would welcome discussions around flexible working, as this role would be suitable for job-share / part-time working.
