We are looking to appoint a committed and enthusiastic Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join and support our wider SEN teams at Leigh Academy Milestone in New Ash Green and/or across our provisions at Wilmington Academy, Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy, Leigh Academy Dartford and Leigh Academy Cherry Orchard.

Hear from a previous Teaching Assistant of ours: "I started my career at Milestone Academy 10 years ago as a Teaching Assistant. Supporting students with a range of learning styles alongside completing professional development courses at Milestone Academy allowed me to gain the skills and confidence to begin my career in teaching. Milestone Academy has supported my journey through gaining a degree, leading onto my current position completing my teacher training to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). There are ample opportunities for career progression at Milestone Academy and the support received from all colleagues and senior leadership has been integral. The staff at Milestone Academy are so supportive of one another and the whole staff community is focused on the best possible outcomes for our students."
