A Career Built on Mentorship, Not Just Supervision
We are seeking dedicated Secondary Support Assistants to work across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. This role is the perfect foundation for future teachers, social workers, or educational psychologists who want to gain "boots-on-the-ground" experience in a fast-paced secondary environment.
- Subject Support: Use your own academic strengths (Maths, English, Science, etc.) to help students grasp complex concepts and improve their GCSE prospects.
- Work-Life Balance: Enjoy typical school hours with no "take-home" marking or weekend commitments - perfect for maintaining your own studies or hobbies.
- Your Role as an Educational Mentor: As a Secondary Teaching Assistant, you aren't just an extra pair of hands; you are a vital link between the student and the curriculum.
- Targeted Interventions: Lead small "breakout" groups or 1:1 sessions for students who need extra support with literacy, numeracy, or specific subject coursework.
- In-Class Support: Work alongside subject teachers to manage classroom dynamics, ensuring that students with additional needs (SEND) can access the lesson.
- Pastoral Care: Assist with emotional regulation and social skills, helping students navigate the complexities of secondary school life.
- Exam Access Support: Act as a reader or scribe for students during mock exams and assessments to ensure they can demonstrate their full potential.
We value empathy, subject confidence, and the ability to connect with teenagers. You are an ideal fit if you:
- You can explain difficult ideas in a simple way and build professional rapport with students aged 11-16.
- Have Relevant Experience: This could be from a school, university tutoring, sports coaching, or volunteering with youth groups.
- Are Proactive & Resilient: You can handle the high-energy environment of a secondary school and stay calm under pressure.
- You hold an enhanced DBS (or are willing to apply) and are 100% dedicated to Safeguarding and student welfare.
