Reading Intervention Progress Assistant (Teaching Assistant) job summary

Looking for a new opportunity to make a positive impact on young peoples lives? Want to work for an academy that has a supportive, fun and friendly culture? We're looking for a Reading Intervention Progress Assistant to join our team!

As a Reading Intervention Progress Assistant you will work under the guidance of the Academy Literacy Leader to implement agreed reading programmes/intervention strategies with individuals or groups of students. This may include working one to one or with small groups.

This post is 32 hours, 5 minutes per week (Monday-Friday), term time only, +5 days. 8:20am-3:15pm.

At the top of your game, you’ll have great behaviours, strong organisational skills, the ability to collaborate effectively, and be able to work constructively as part of a team. How and why you do things matters greatly to us, as does your ability to use your initiative, work independently and be resilient. In return you’ll be joining a great team, about which Ofsted commented, “Many staff are proud members of what they describe as the ‘Priesthorpe family’”.

You’ll do all this whilst capturing the spirit of our vision and values and whilst role-modelling exceptional professional behaviours.

Why us?

Co-op Academy Priesthorpe is situated in Pudsey and just 15 minutes from both Leeds and Bradford centre with places for 1250 students and 135 staff. The Academy has a very special ethos, which visitors continue to comment on. Equity and equality are key drivers for us in ensuring that all students have the opportunity to excel within a highly inclusive and supportive community.

All colleagues, teachers and support, are responsible for a small coaching group of students which they meet with for 1.5 hours over a week. Full training is offered and you will be buddied up with a teaching member of staff. This adds a very rewarding element to this role.

All our values are based upon the values of the Co-op Group, which will inform our behaviours.

Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.

Self-responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.

Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.

Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.

Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.

Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.

Be yourself, always

Show you care

So, if you believe in our values, we would love to hear from you!
