The Brian Clarke CE Academy is looking to appoint an inspirational and dedicated Level 3 Teaching Assistant. You will also play a part in supporting the establishment of our Achievement for All (AfA) department, working with the school’s HLTA, SENDCo and Senior Leadership Team.

This is a wonderful opportunity to be part of a talented and committed staff that is growing a school from Year 7 up; supporting the development of its ethos and embedding that in the community of the school, having the benefit of a brand new building with all new facilities and supported by a local, successful and experienced Trust. Exemplary behaviour and a distinctive ethos based on our strongly held values will create a climate for learning where students flourish.

As a Teaching Assistant you will be working with the HLTA, SENDCo and other members of staff in the AfA department to plan and provide curriculum support and interventions to our students with additional learning needs, either in a group setting or on a 1:1 basis. We are looking for an energetic and creative person who may be seeking to gain experience working with young people, and wants to develop an understanding of how to support their learning. It would suit a dedicated Teaching Assistant or recent graduate interested in a future career in education or related field who is keen to learn more about students’ complex and additional needs and the best ways to overcome them. You must have warmth and empathy to establish relationships based on trust and respect with students. 

In brief we are looking for:

• An individual committed to ambition, excellence and community who will work with the staff body to drive the growth and development of The Brian Clarke CE Academy to become an outstanding provider for young people and a school where staff, who are committed and ambitious for young people, take pride in and enjoy their work.
• An individual able to build relationships and rapport with students, parents, carers and colleagues, as well as communicating directly with relevant external agencies.
• Someone who will go the extra mile for students, not because they are asked to but because they want to; someone who will do their utmost to ensure that all of our students progress to the future destinations of their choice.
• Someone who will inspire students and the staff they work with.
• An excellent communicator with sound analytical skills and a flexible approach.

We are recruiting a founding team of exceptional staff to achieve our vision and work together to create a genuinely outstanding school and shape the totality of the Brian Clarke experience for our young people.

Working for The Brian Clarke CE Academy means that you would be part of the Cranmer Education Trust, a successful, growing Trust which prides itself on looking after its people, offering a high level of support and access to expertise. This is an excellent time to join the team as we develop collaborative structures and systems to enhance and support our growing family of schools.

At well as The Brian Clarke CE Academy, the Trust is made up of The Blue Coat School, Oldham, St Anne’s Academy in Middleton and two primary schools - East Crompton St George’s and Mayfield Primary. The Trust also incorporates a teacher training school (Manchester Nexus SCITT) the East Manchester Teaching School Hub and the Languages Hub; all of which support the training and development of new and existing teachers across the North West of England.
