Teaching Assistant

Leigh Academy Bexley has a core team of Teaching Assistants. We have a number of opportunities now available and are keen to receive applications from candidates that are passionate about working with secondary-aged students to support their learning. Working with students on a 1-to-1 basis, in small groups or with general assistance for whole classes, the role of a Teaching Assistant is varied but fundamentally relies on the continuity of support to be successful. Working under the line management of the SENCO, you'll provide intervention for learners who may be struggling to ensure they are still able to access learning from an academic and welfare perspective. Our ideal candidates will be patient, empathetic and able to adapt to working with students from different backgrounds and with differing needs.

This is a permanent position based on 36 hours per week (Monday to Friday, 8am - 4pm), Term Time + 1 week of inset. This position offers an actual salary of £25,243 per annum (£29,349 full time equivalent)
