What skills and experience we're looking for

Thank you for your interest in the role of Nurture Teaching Assistant in The Nest nurture provision at Edith Weston Academy, we hope you will feel inspired to apply to be part of our team.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Teaching Assistant to join our team to support our children with their learning and behaviour under the direction of the Nurture Class Teacher and Nurture Lead. Initially, this post will be until August 2026 but would hopefully continue pending funding.

We are looking for someone who can:

• Effectively support children’s learning and progress and uphold our school values and expectations.
• Understand the role of nurture and effective behaviour management in supporting children with challenging social, emotional and behavioural needs.
• Work on their own initiative, following the direction and planning of the class teacher.
• Act calmly and professionally in all situations.
• Build positive relationships with children and colleagues to support the children effectively.

The Nurture Nest at Edith Weston Academy is a special provision, funded by Rutland County Council, that provides a full-time alternative provision for children across the county. They will join the Nest for a year before transitioning back to their home school once the intervention is complete.

Although the Nest is a separate provision, it is located within the school and the staff are very much part of our team. At Edith Weston Academy, we want everyone in our team to be passionate about our school. We expect everyone to be committed to making our school the best it can be for the children, willing to go the extra mile every day and be actively involved in all aspects of school life.
