Maidstone, Kent, United Kingdom Folkestonegirls Full time

We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Support Assistant to join our team at Snowfields Academy. This role is ideal for those who genuinely have a passion for helping children, particularly with learning difficulties.

As a Support Assistant, you will play a crucial role in supporting our teachers to deliver academic excellence, day in, day out, with professionalism and enthusiasm. Your main aim will be to provide a comprehensive support service to the academy, including:

  • Assisting students with their educational and social development, on an individual and group basis
  • Providing support for individual students inside and outside the classroom to enable them to fully participate in activities
  • Assisting teachers with the maintenance of student records
  • Building and maintaining successful relationships with students, whilst treating them with respect and consideration
  • Providing expertise to deliver a personalised curriculum for each pupil's learning
  • Working together with families and other agencies to ensure every pupil is valued, challenged and supported
  • Having the highest expectation that every pupil will make sustained academic and personal progress
  • Ensuring that every pupil is ready for the next steps in their learning and is supported to participate in, and contribute to, life in modern Britain

Each and every member of staff, regardless of their position or seniority, is expected to participate in the overall running of the school and to act as a positive role model for our students. In and out of the classroom, you will encourage and promote positive behaviour and effectively manage any situation that threatens to impact on the progress of other students.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience of working with young people, either in an academic setting or as a voluntary worker. They will be educated to GCSE level (or equivalent) in literacy and numeracy. They will be committed to personal learning and development and have a sincere commitment to sharing our long-term aims and drive for continuous improvement.

In return, we offer a professional and supportive team, a state-of-the-art working environment, and a genuine opportunity to develop. As a Trust, we feel it is essential to hire for the right attitude, which is why we look for support assistants that are enthusiastic, focused, and resilient to the day-to-day pressures that the classroom brings.
