Teaching Assistant job summary

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated, well-organised Teaching Assistant to join our successful school and support our SEND department and SEND students. You will be working alongside individual or small groups of students to support them in accessing all areas of mainstream education.

Experience is desirable but full induction and training will be given and opportunities exist for teaching assistants to develop their careers and to specialise in different subject areas.

We are an inclusive, community school and value collaborative learning between professionals. This is a permanent post for 32.08 hours per week for 36.8 weeks per year (term time plus 2 Inset days).

The Matthew Arnold School is part of Bourne Education Trust (‘BET’) - a regional multi-academy trust made up of sixteen schools, across both primary and secondary phases.

Specialising in supporting schools to improve their performance, BET continues to grow a community of high performing academies with the highest aspiration and dedication to achieving the best outcomes for their learners.

Led by Alex Russell, CEO, and supported by an executive team and board of directors, BET's 1050 staff currently educate over 7,700 pupils.
BET is a fast moving and exciting place to work with every school within our Trust free to shape their individual character. Our brilliant teachers, support staff and leaders share a commitment to providing a first-class education to the children within their schools and as a Trust we strive to ensure that our provision enables every child to fulfil their potential.

Our people are the key to our success and for this reason we believe in creating great places to work where people feel supported and encouraged to be the best they can possibly be.

Staff within our schools can expect to be challenged and motivated to achieve their ambitions, and such is the scale and scope of the Trust’s school-to-school support work, successful candidates can expect to:

 Work in a high performing and supportive environment with dedicated high quality induction, coaching and mentoring programmes
 Develop their teaching pedagogy within a culture of collaboration and sharing of best practice
 Receive focussed career planning and professional development advice, which can result in rapid promotion either through direct placement or via secondments
 Work with our teaching school partner to successfully navigate your NQT status, if applicable, and receive support in achieving your qualified teacher status in the UK if you have come from abroad
 Work within an organisation that prioritises staff well-being, supports effective planning, preparation and administrative time as well as access to high quality shared resources and the opportunity to work a shorter academic year than most.
