Further details about the role

Clarendon Academy is seeking to appoint two caring and dedicated Teaching Assistants to work within the new Resource Base (opening September 2023), supporting students with complex Cognition and Learning needs. This is a wonderful opportunity to work alongside our dedicated staff and join our growing team which offers a supportive environment for staff to grow and develop their career.

Clarendon Academy is an exciting place to work. We are a thriving co-educational 11-18 comprehensive academy within the Acorn Education Trust. Working within the Trust provides support and career opportunities for progression. The school is based in the county town of Trowbridge, in beautiful rural Wiltshire, and is in easy commuter distance from Bath. We pride ourselves on being a centre of excellence and a place where young, enthusiastic children enter in Year 7 and leave us at the end of Year 13 as fully rounded young adults.

The Resource Base is a new venture for us, which we are so excited about. We are working with Wiltshire Council to offer places for young people who do not require specialist school, but who need a little more support than mainstream. The Resource Base will be a smaller learning environment where our students can flourish whilst also benefitting from inclusion to everything that Clarendon Academy has to offer. Our designation is for students who have complex cognition and learning needs and sometimes with associated language disorder. The successful candidates will be very much a part of the base’s development as we move forward and grow the number of places.
