The Marlborough Science Academy St Albans is looking to employ a Midday Supervisor/part-time Assistant Teacher to join our successful and oversubscribed Academy for students aged 11-18.
As a Midday Supervisor you would be supporting and supervising our students during the morning and lunchtime breaks. This is an important and busy role for an individual who can uphold the ethos and standards established within the Academy in a calm and professional manner.
In addition, as a Level 2 General Assistant Teacher you would be working (for two hours a day) as part of our Specialised Learning Faculty. We are looking for an individual who can support, motivate and inspire students who need help to overcome barriers to learning in a mainstream educational setting. The primary focus is to undertake educational activities with individuals, groups and whole classes within a framework agreed with and under the overall direction and supervision of a qualified teacher.
You will need to be a team player but also be able to work independently, show great flexibility, creativity and have good communication skills. You will also ideally have a GCSE grade 4 or above (or equivalent to) in English and Mathematics and be able to demonstrate a basic knowledge of ICT. The successful candidate will ideally have previous experience of working in a school environment (although not essential), and they must be able to communicate effectively and liaise with students in a professional, empathic manner.
