What skills and experience we're looking for

Join Team Malbank and help us transform lives through numeracy

At Malbank School and Sixth Form College, we believe that strong numeracy skills are essential for success across the curriculum and in later life. We are seeking to appoint a dedicated and enthusiastic Maths Intervention Learning Support Assistant to work alongside the Maths Department, supporting students who are struggling in maths to catch up and achieve their potential.

This role is funded through Pupil Premium and therefore has a clear priority focus on supporting pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium.

The Role

The successful candidate will:

  • Work closely with the Maths Department to plan, deliver and review targeted maths interventions
  • Support students who are significantly below age-related expectations in numeracy through structured intervention programmes
  • Plan interventions alongside subject specialists, using assessment information to identify priority students
  • Provide 1:1 and small-group support to help students close gaps in key elements of the maths curriculum
  • Extract students from our internal seclusion room who are significantly behind in their work to help them catch up
  • Extract small groups of students from maths lessons to support them with essential curriculum content
  • Monitor, assess and track progress of students receiving intervention
  • Build positive, supportive relationships with vulnerable and disadvantaged learners
  • Work collaboratively with SEND, pastoral and year teams to remove barriers to learning

Who We Are Looking For

We are seeking someone who:

  • Has experience working with young people (school-based experience desirable but not essential)
  • Enjoys maths and has a genuine interest in supporting students to improve their numeracy skills
  • Is keen to learn and work closely with the Maths Department
  • Does not need to have an extensive mathematical background, but must be willing to develop subject knowledge
  • Is patient, resilient and committed to helping students make progress
  • Can work independently and manage a structured intervention time whilst also contributing effectively to a team
  • Is committed to inclusive education and high expectations for all learners

Training and support will be provided, including guidance on the delivery of a range of maths intervention programmes.
