An exciting TA cover with a focus on supporting children wider than the classroom.
Your new school
Beacon Academy is a thriving Primary Academy in Loughborough, serving children aged 2 to 11 years old. We are dedicated to ensuring that every child receives an excellent education every day, with high expectations, a broad and enriching curriculum, and a strong focus on personal development.
The school was graded 'good' in all areas in 2021 by Ofsted and has gone from strength to strength since. It is an IQM (Inclusion Quality Mark ) Centre of Excellence school and is passionate about providing the best opportunities for its pupils. In January 2024 we appointed an ambitious Principal, Mr Ben Kilgannon, who lives locally and is hugely passionate about the school, its community and staff. As a hands-on Principal, he is a big believer in working collaboratively and continuously developing staff to ensure all pupils reach their full potential. Beacon Academy is the epitome of teamwork where everyone feels valued and heard.
Your new role
Due to an internal promotion we are looking for a teaching assistant to focus on children wider than the classroom. This role is crucial in our school's approach to supporting children with complex SEMH (social, emotional and mental health) needs and will be required to work both inside and outside of the classroom. This is an exciting opportunity to develop bespoke support and would be ideal for someone who enjoys adapting to different pupil needs. You will work in partnership with teachers to improve the learning and attainment of students while also promoting their independence, self-esteem and social inclusion. The role provides support to students so that they can access the curriculum, participate in learning and experience a sense of achievement.
What you'll need to succeed
You will have a L3 Teaching Assistant apprenticeship or equivalent or willingness to work towards this qualification with an understanding of a range of pupil's learning needs. You will have patience in interactions with a variety of students and situations, with a calm demeanour and have empathy to understand the needs and challenges of students and be able to relate to them on a personal level. You will also be somebody who can engage and enthuse students to want to learn.
We will review applications and interview ASAP so please apply or make contact ASAP.
