Waterton Academy Trust is extremely proud to have opened its first Assessment Resource Provision on the site of Churchfield Primary School in Barnsley. We are looking for an outstanding and experienced practitioner to join us on our journey offering unique and exciting opportunities to develop innovative ways of working and are pleased to be able to offer the opportunity to appoint a Teacher from January 2023 on a permanent contract.

Inclusion is a key priority for the Trust and we are excited to be opening another provision site for Key Stage 2 children shortly in Athersley North.

Our Resource Provision provides an excellent learning environment for an additional 10 children who have complex communication and interaction difficulties and who have an EHCP (Education Health Care Plan).

This vibrant assessment unit is child centred and innovative in its approach. This is an exciting opportunity for candidates who would like to become part of a dedicated multi professional team developing a creative engaging curriculum and a safe secure and happy environment for all.

As an assessment provision we pride ourselves on our passion for nurturing the whole child. We have a caring ethos, and are very pupil-focused and inclusive, going above and beyond. Children will be with us for up to 6 terms during which time staff will determine if the child is able to return to a mainstream setting or will require a specialist provision.

We are very proud of our diverse and highly inclusive community. Candidates need to be committed to delivering the best learning opportunities for every child and remove the learning challenges some of our children face so that every child succeeds.

Our aim is to create a happy and inspiring environment with highly skilled and trained staff that help to support children to thrive and achieve their true potential in an environment that is best suited to their needs.

You will become an integral part of a team of highly skilled staff who work tirelessly to ensure successful outcomes and enjoyable learning experience for our children.

The team will include 3 Teaching Assistants, a Higher Level Teaching Assistant and an Assessment Resource Lead. You will also be supported by the wider Trust Central team.
