Learning Support Assistant - WMG Academy

Please Note: The application deadline for this job has now passed.

What is the job role?

We are looking for an enthusiastic and flexible person to join our learning support/pastoral team. The successful candidate will provide assistance for students with additional educational needs who require support in their classes across the curriculum as well as more general learning support where required. This role will definitely involve a very ‘hands-on’ approach to whole group teaching and consequently we are looking to employ somebody who thrives in a student-facing, forward-thinking environment.

As a small school, the concept of a 'family' environment is very important to us. Our staff are well looked after and genuinely work as a team in an open-office environment. Student-staff relationships are excellent and there are multiple opportunities to work with both an array of business partners (including Jaguar Land Rover, Bosch, Balfour Beatty and National Grid) as well as the University of Warwick. All members of staff are affiliate members of the university and enjoy associated benefits.

Our Ofsted inspection of March 2017 has fully endorsed, across all categories, that we are a ‘Good’ school.
