Support Assistant Level 2 (Reading Intervention)

Northern Leaders Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in all its schools and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We are fully committed to ensuring that consistent effective safeguarding procedures are in place to support families, children and staff at school.

We are seeking applications to join our Learning Support team to play a vital role in enhancing students' reading fluency within our Academy. This position requires strong coordination skills, a passion for supporting student development, and a commitment to delivering high-quality interventions. We are looking for candidates with relevant experience in coordinating reading interventions or similar educational programs and strong organisational and coordination skills. You will have previous experience working with children and/or young people, preferably within an education setting, or those with a minimum of a level 2 qualification (grade 4 or above in English and Mathematics).

• Excellent training and development opportunities
