StokeonTrent, United Kingdom Leigh Academies Trust Full time

Are you able to volunteer your time during school hours? Do you enjoy working with primary and/or secondary-aged students? Perhaps you would like to complete a work/university placement within our organisation? At Leigh Academies Trust, we highly value the contribution that our volunteers and work placement candidates can make to our childrens' learning and cultural experiences throughout the academic year. We are seeking volunteers to join our academies who can support in a variety of ways; whether it be with reading and writing at primary level, more specific subject knowledge at secondary level, or within a central office department. If this is something you are interested in, please submit an application

The duties that you are able to support us with will vary between academies and will be discussed with you on a case-by-case basis. We will also agree locations that you can feasibly travel to. 

Being part of Leigh Academies Trust: As of 1st September 2024, our Trust comprises 33 geographically organised academies (17 secondaries, 14 primaries and 2 special) educating more than 24,000 students and employing 4,000 talented staff. Currently, 14 of our academies are considered to be “Outstanding” which is nearly 50% of those which have been inspected whilst part of the Trust. The Trust is establishing four ‘clusters’ of academies: North Kent; Central Kent; South East London; Medway. In addition, the Trust is responsible for one of the region’s biggest initial teaching training organisations, a large teaching school hub and is an accredited apprenticeship provider. .

As part of Leigh Academies Trust, you will have ample opportunity to collaborate with your peers both within the academy and across the whole Trust. This is an important part of our vision as we know through experience that we perform better when we work together. You are supported to undertake regular self-development to continue your professional development and hopefully progress further within the organisation.

Our commitment to safeguarding:  Leigh Academies Trust and all of our academies are committed to ensuring the highest levels of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils, and we expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We adopt a fair, robust and consistent recruitment process across all academies and business units which is inline with Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance. This includes online checks for shortlisted candidates - you can read more about this in our Recruitment Guidance. All offers of employment are subject to an Enhanced DBS check, references, and where applicable, a prohibition from teaching check.

Our commitment to equality and diversity:  As a Trust, we are passionate about diversity and recognise that as individuals, we all bring something unique to the role regardless of any protected characteristics which is why we treat all of our people equally, without compromise. We are committed to providing equality and fairness throughout our recruitment and employment practices and not discriminating on any grounds.
