Teaching Assistant

Do you want to make a real difference to your students? Is job satisfaction a priority? Want to achieve more than just results at the end of each academic year?

Stephenson (MK) Trust is an organisation committed to supporting young people who are at risk of exclusion from mainstream secondary provision (Bridge Academy) and specialist secondary provision for students with Social Emotional and Mental Health needs (Stephenson Academy). We provide inclusive education for young people with a range of educational and social needs in order to maximise and improve their life chances.

We are seeking:
Are you a dedicated and committed individual who can put yourself in other people’s shoes, are positive, flexible, resilient and can use your initiative? If so, you could make a difference to the lives of these young people. Your job is about building relationships and committing to helping students make progress, both academically and personally.

You will:
• undertake educational activities
• attend to the educational, personal and social needs of students
• support learning and development
• ensure student safety
• develop approaches to maintaining students who are in crisis.

Personal qualities such as integrity and being able to work effectively as part of a team are more important than experience in this field, which is why our staff join us from different roles and trades.

Why choose our Trust?
We can offer you:
• A welcoming and positive working environment where the wellbeing of both students and staff is a top priority
• High quality professional development and support including bespoke CPD
• Small class sizes, with the ability to be truly creative, not prescriptive
• Progression opportunities across the Trust
• Free access to holistic treatments as part of our wellbeing policy

Closing date for all applications: Midday, Wednesday 8th December 2021. Interviews will take place Tuesday 14th December 2021.
