South Tyneside, United Kingdom South Tyneside Council Full time

School Support Assistant - 32.5 hpw (Term Time Only)
Harton Academy
£21,968 - £23,194 pa pro rata

Permanent and Temporary Contracts

As part of a team, your skills and experience will enable you to support a range of students with identified learning needs, providing both learning and behavioural support as required. You will also provide effective cover for teaching colleagues in the event of an absence. In between classroom sessions, you will assist with administrative tasks, including examination support. You will either be first aid qualified or willing to undertake training to assist with the support we give in school.

The higher rate of pay is for colleagues who take the lead in an identified specialism within the team, as well as sharing that knowledge and being a point of contact for colleagues in that area.

The working hours are 8.30 am to 4 pm on Monday, or to 3.50 on Tuesday, and to 3.30 on Friday. You will have an hour for lunch, however on two days a week you will assist with lunchtime cover, and have a half hour lunch.

Harton Academy has a large student population, from 11-18. We have a diverse student base, giving a whole spectrum of backgrounds, abilities, needs and wants. We believe we are an excellent place to work as well as train.

So why should you take this route into teaching? Why wouldn’t you just go straight into a PCGE course?

Working with us will give you an idea of how the school year works - you see a different side as a staff member.

Students who have worked with us before going on to train all say that to be able to do the course with this experience already in their back pocket, they feel gives them a flying start. A PGCE year is a busy one, and has lots of hard work - both in school and for the HE provider.

Why not pace yourself and work on this while earning a salary?

Yes, you won’t start training for another year, but think of the advantages in having worked for a whole school year in a school, having earned a salary and, who knows - you may find that you want to train in our partnership.

We think you will.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all our staff and volunteers to share our commitment. Successful applicants are required to obtain an Enhanced Certificate of Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Harton Academy is the Employer.
