Gateshead, Gateshead, United Kingdom Gateshead Council Full time
Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy is a successful 11-18 mainstream co-educational academy which has improved rapidly over recent years. We recently celebrated achieving a 'Good' Ofsted rating in our November 2022 inspection.

The improvement in progress 8 scores from 2019 to 2022 indicates we were the most improved school in Gateshead and among the top 10% of schools for improvement in the North East of England.

Whole school progress remained at similar levels into 2023, indicating that the improvements made have been embedded consistently.

We provide an exceptional programme of CPD for staff. We know this through staff surveys and our very low levels of staff turnover. The majority of staff who have left us have gone on to promoted positions. Staff are happy here; Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy is a good place to work.

We have high expectations of our staff and students, but we also know our staff are our greatest asset, and we treat them with respect.

We value the development of all our staff and you will develop further during your time here.


We are looking to recruit a skilful, passionate and dynamic TA to primarily support behaviour in our Learning Support Room (LSR).

You will be committed to transforming the life chances of our students. You will be passionate about raising the achievement of all students, particularly the disadvantaged, including those with SEND.

You will be keen to learn and develop further, through collaboration with others, and through whole school and departmental CPD.


You will contribute to the development of an excellent standard of teaching across the school as part of the SEND and Pastoral departments.

You will raise the achievement of our students by offering outstanding support, adopting strategies to access the teaching and learning in the classroom and ensuring student progression by implementing bespoke interventions strategies which meet the students' needs.


The SEND Department consists of an Assistant Principal SENDCo, two Assistant SENDCO's and 8 HLTAs/TAs with active responsibilities for an area of SEND.

The pastoral team consists of a Deputy Principal, two Assistant Principal's, a team of Year Leaders and Deputy Year Leaders.

They are supported by an Attendance Manager, an Attendance officer and a School Counsellor.


The SEND department is a professional and forward thinking department; we are flexible in meeting our students' needs, both in and out of the classroom.

"Teachers and teaching assistants work together to ensure that pupils with SEND are well supported in lessons." (Ofsted) November 2022.

We are striving for excellence and always looking for new, creative, and exciting opportunities to develop learning, supporting students and advising staff, "teaching staff have the knowledge to helps pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)".

(Ofsted) November 2022.


To be considered for this post you must have a good education background to GCSE equivalent or above and be willing to engage in further professional development.

We are looking for a TA with the capability to provide an excellent range of support for our students, and with the capacity to develop further.


Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
