**Summary**
Harris Academy Battersea is looking for a Teaching Assistant to support individuals and groups of students at the academy, including those with SEND.

This will involve supporting learning in the classroom and attending to students’ personal needs where required, including social, health, physical, hygiene, first aid and welfare matters.
**About Us**
Harris Academy Battersea is a mixed state secondary school serving a truly comprehensive community in the heart of London. We are an Ofsted ‘**Outstanding**' school with a track record of delivering fantastic outcomes year on year for our students.

Our Academy is centred on the values of **Knowledge, Integrity and Resilience** and these underpin the way we work for both students and staff. Our staff are inclusive, diverse and committed to our mission: we develop aspirational young people to thrive in a changing world.

HABS offers a broad, academic and challenging curriculum founded on six key curriculum aims:

- To develop deep, long-lasting knowledge
- To develop students into accomplished readers, writers and orators
- To provide experiences within and beyond the classroom that enrich learning and ensure students can make informed choices about their futures
- To equip students to challenge injustice in all its forms
- To enable students to understand how they learn
- To support students to reflect on their choices and values to improve themselves and their community

These aims underpin all elements of our curriculum, and **we see our core academic curriculum and wider personal development curriculum as intrinsically linked**. All staff at the Academy contribute to the personal development of our students through their roles as tutors and through their contributions to the wider life of the academy.

A thriving school can only function with fantastic staff, and our vision is to make teaching at HABS both **enjoyable and sustainable**. The wellbeing of staff underpins every decision we make, and we seek to ensure that every member of staff can enjoy a work-life-balance enabling them to bring their best to work each day.

At HABS, **professional growth and development** is central to our mission. Our professional development motto is ‘improve, not prove' and leaders are relentlessly focussed on supporting staff in getting even better through a wide range of internal and external training opportunities.
