Teaching Assistant job summary
Quarrydale is an Academy located just
between Mansfield and the M1. It has over 1300 well behaved students and was
recently graded as good by Ofsted. At Quarrydale we look for staff who adopt caring and nurturing
approaches to pupils and who encourage a positive learning environment to take
place.
What We Offer Our Staff:
A significant amount of
Quarrydale Academy’s budget is designated for external staff development
programmes. This is done because at Quarrydale we believe that staff
development is very important and we encourage all of our staff to take up the offer
of Continuing Professional Development. We also ask staff to provide feedback
on the courses they attend so we are in a very good place to suggest which development
programmes are the most effective.
If you feel that you have the ability
and drive to support our students to reach their full potential, joining our
Academy also offers many other personal benefits including:
- a
subsidised pension scheme - close,
convenient links to the M1 junction 28, Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield - close
access to the peak district, national park and popular historical sites - A supportive environment in which your talents
will be encouraged, nurtured and rewarded - Access to Perkbox and Perkbox Medical (platforms which give employee
benefits and inspire a unique employee experience, enriching personal and
working lives)
Quarrydale Academy has a fantastic location as it is situated
just of the M1 so is accessible from cities such as Sheffield, Nottingham and
Derby, therefore city life is something our staff can readily access and enjoy.
Also some of our staff commute from around the Peak District which has been
described as one of the most beautiful national parks in England. So if you’re
looking for city, town or village life then we can certainly accommodate that.
As an Academy we pride ourselves on fostering positive
relationships between staff and pupils and their guardians. Ofsted did commend
us for this, and so if this is something which is important to you as a teaching
assistant then is the perfect environment for you to work in.
All departments within the Academy provide high levels of
support to staff members and you will enjoy an environment of motivated
students aspiring to reach their full potential encouraged by enthusiastic and
motivated staff.
So if you do not want to miss out on this incredible
opportunity then please apply immediately.
The Academy is committed to
safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects
all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Therefore, the successful
candidate will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS check and other vetting
procedures including the provision of two good references.
