This represents an outstanding opportunity to make an impact in a successful, forward-thinking school. We take pride in both the welcome we offer the whole community and the standards achieved by our young people. In our recent Ofsted report (May 2023) Northgate High School and Dereham Sixth Form College was graded a ‘Good’ school in all areas.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and nurturing individual to be part of an excellent department within our school, working as a member of a dedicated and experienced team.

You will have a genuine passion for education and helping our pupils. With strong communication and interpersonal skills you will have patience, empathy and the ability to engage with pupils of all abilities.

We are looking for someone who is creative and enthusiastic and who will make a positive contribution to achieving the best outcomes for our pupils. Experience of working with pupils would be an advantage, but is not essential.

Teaching assistants support our pupils in their learning by either working with individuals or groups of students.

In return for the right candidate we are offering:

a competitive salary;

all the advantages of a successful academy group;

being part of an extended network of support staff, teachers and leaders who share and exchange ideas and continued professional development opportunities;

support from creative and innovative colleagues that will ensure your professional practice continues to develop;

a stimulating and friendly working environment where every member of staff is valued and makes a significant contribution to the school/college;

training and development opportunities;

opportunity of additional paid duties;

Local Government contributory pension scheme;

access to high-quality musculoskeletal physiotherapy provision;

access to our Employee Assistance helpline for free and confidential advice.

We are proud to be the only University accredited laboratory school in Norfolk. As a Laboratory School we are committed to research-based practice which is strengthened through peer-to-peer learning, ongoing professional development and collaboration with other schools and partners.

If you feel you have the right experience, skills and enthusiasm, and would like to join our highly committed team, then we would very much like to hear from you.
