Northumberland, United Kingdom Gilbert Ward Academy Full time

**33.5 hours per week, term-time only +5 training days**:
Opening in September 2023, Gilbert Ward Academy will be a purpose built, brand new, state of the art Academy, catering for children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) as their primary area of need. At full capacity, Gilbert Ward Academy will provide education to 80 pupils aged 11-16 working between lower key stage two and key stage four.

Many of the pupils who will attend Gilbert Ward Academy will have additional special educational needs, such as, autistic spectrum condition (ASC), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and speech and language communication difficulties. Pupils attending Gilbert Ward Academy may have, at some point, not had success or positive experiences in their education elsewhere. As a result - along with other factors - pupils will more than likely be working at a lower-than-expected key stage relative to their age. Most pupils joining in September 2023 will be working at lower and upper key stage two and will be transitioning from primary schools.

Required from September 2023, we are looking to appoint Learning Support Assistants with experience and/or interest in supporting the teaching and learning of our pupils. We value high standards of achievement for all of our pupils and we are looking to appoint excellent Learning Support Assistants to join the team, who will make a positive contribution to the education of our fantastic pupils at Gilbert Ward Academy.
- A friendly and supportive team of staff who are willing to share expertise and learn from one another
- Opportunities for career development and support with development through Trust wide CPD programmes
- Access to an Employee Assistance Programme and support from the Trust's Wellbeing Network Group
- Access to either Teacher's Pension or Local Government Pension Scheme

Prosper Learning Trust was established in January 2018 with Newcastle Bridges School and Mary Astell Academy. Thomas Bewick School joined the Trust in April 2019, Harry Watts Academy in September 2020 and Gilbert Ward Academy will open during the 2023/2024 academic year. We are striving to build further collaboration across the academies and grow as a multi-academy trust, whilst continuing to strengthen our relationships with schools outside the MAT for the benefit of our pupils.

Closing date: Thursday, 29th June 2023 12pm

Interviews: W/C 3rd July 2023
