Fixed Term
Full Time - Term Time Only
1 year (in first instance)
SPACE Learning Centre, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, NG17 7DT
Range 7-10 (£14,615 – 15,238 FTE)

We are looking to appoint two Teaching Assistants within our KS4 alternative provision. The successful candidates will be required to: 

  • Work with groups and individuals in and out of the classroom to support individual learning needs
  • Monitor the progress of individual students in line with their targets (academic and behavioural)
  • Supervise students during breaks and lunchtimes

You will also have the opportunity to develop additional courses in areas that are of interest to you.

Previous experience of working in an education environment or as a Teaching Assistant is not essential; candidates must have a genuine passion for working with disadvantaged and challenging young people. This is an ideal opportunity for those interested in gaining the vital experience required for a career in teaching. 

An opportunity to join our exciting provision

The Trust is the incorporation of the School Behaviour and Attendance Partnership (SBAP) in North Ashfield. To date, the partnership between Ashfield School, Kirkby College, Quarrydale Academy and Sutton Community Academy has been extremely effective in lowering permanent exclusion rates and supporting young people at risk of permanent exclusion. However, our work isn’t exclusively about behaviour; we support students from a variety of backgrounds, and with a wide range of issues that often make access to mainstream education a challenging prospect.

The partnership established the highly successful SPACE Learning Centre over four years ago, providing intervention and alternative education in North Ashfield. Owing to the introduction of a new KS4 programme, the centre has expanded to offer better provision for young people in North Ashfield.

How to apply:
