Esteem North Academy is seeking a flexible, committed, enthusiastic and highly skilled literacy Intervention Assistant, to deliver phonics, literacy, oracy and reading interventions at one of our secondary sites in Chesterfield. The academy provides statutory education to children who are at risk of, or have been, permanently excluded. Pupils who attend the academy have challenging and often complex needs, and exhibit behaviours that prevent them from attending a mainstream school. A significant majority are weak readers with reading ages well below their chronological age.

Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with Read Write Inc Fresh Start or of another Phonics programme. An affinity for pupils with behaviour, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You will be working predominantly with pupils on a 1:1 basis and so must be able to build relationships. You will be responsible for working with the Site Lead and Literacy Lead to develop our literacy programme and ensure that we have the required resources and books. You will also support with staff CPD and a whole academy ethos of encouraging all opportunities for reading. This can occur remotely.

The role will be based in chesterfield and mileage claims are included for this role for travel to other locations. There may also be travel to our other academy sites for meetings, Inset and CPD or working with pupils in their homes or other off site locations. You are required to have daily access to transport with business use included on your insurance. You may be required to transport pupils in your own car.

**Benefits Include**:

- LGPS Pension Scheme (16.6% employer contributions)
- Generous holiday entitlement
- Access to Westfield Health membership scheme including cashback schemes for health and retail benefits, discounted gym memberships, and free confidential advice.
- Access to National College CPD platform.
- Perfection is not required, if you are excited by the role and our organisation, but not sure if you meet 100% of the criteria, we would still love to hear from you_
