We think of ourselves as being one school across many sites, working collaboratively to deliver high quality, rich and engaging education in our diverse communities. Our aims are to enable all our learners to flourish and to open doors for their very best futures.

We genuinely seek to live by our values of Excellence, Belonging, Opportunity and Respect; these underpin how we work and how we relate to each other. We have high ambitions for our learners and staff and aim to deliver this through a culture of continuous development, support, kindness and understanding. We are a friendly trust that puts people first.

About the Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our dedicated and supportive teams at Alderman Cogan’s CE Primary Academy and Marfleet Primary Academy – two thriving schools within our Hull community. We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced Level 3 Teaching Assistant to work across both settings, providing high-quality support for pupils and making a real difference in their lives.

The successful candidate will work closely with our Barriers Team, supporting some of our most vulnerable learners to overcome challenges and reach their full academic potential. The post involves working with groups of children across all age ranges, offering both in-class support and targeted interventions.

You will also lead on extended curriculum activities, such as sports, music, or performing arts, helping to provide enriching opportunities for our pupils beyond the classroom.

In addition, we are looking for someone who is willing and able to step into HLTA cover when required, providing flexible and effective support for teaching and learning across both schools.

What We’re Looking For

• A relevant Level 3 qualification (minimum) or a degree

• Experience working with children of all primary age groups

• A passion for supporting pupils with vulnerable children

• Strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to inclusive education

• Flexibility, creativity, and a positive, proactive attitude

• The ability to lead enrichment activities such as sports or performing arts

• Willingness to provide HLTA cover where necessary

You will have the ability to step in and cover in the absence of the Class Teacher in a range of classrooms and ages. Using your skills and knowledge to ensure you are able to adapt your teaching methods depending on the ages of the children whether this be whole class teaching or working with smaller groups of children.

You will be a key team player, showing resilience and flexibility in your approach.

Good, clear and effective communication will play a key role in this position as you will need to work with and alongside the child, their family and other members of staff within the school.

You will have positive behaviour management skills, and be flexible and able to work on your own initiative.
