North East Derbyshire AP Academy is seeking a flexible, committed, enthusiastic and highly skilled Specialist Teaching and Learning Assistant, to be based at our High Peak site.
The school provides statutory education to children who have been, or who are at risk of becoming, permanently excluded from mainstream school. Pupils who attend the school have challenging and often complex needs, and exhibit behaviours that prevent them from attending a mainstream school.
The successful candidate will inspire, motivate, and support pupils to reach their full potential, by providing stability within a nurturing environment. Successful candidates will support the delivery of core teachers and work independently with young people in small groups or on a one-to-one basis. The role will require preparing and adapting to meet the academic, social and emotional needs of young people. Strong behaviour management skills are essential to this post.
Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with disaffected pupils in a school setting, especially at KS3 and KS4. An affinity for pupils with behaviour, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour.
Benefits include: LGPS Pension Scheme, Westfield Health membership and free parking.
For further information, please contact Matt Morris, North East Derbyshire AP Academy Headteacher, on 01246 237640, via email to mmorris@nedsc.derbyshire.sch.uk or visit our website at www.esteemmat.co.uk/jointheteam. Please use the relevant application form on the MAT website; CVs alone will not be accepted.
Closing date for applications: 12 November 2021 (midday)
Interview date: w/c 15 November 2021
