About This Role

Work where it matters most, achieve what matters more. We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant to work with our students in individual, small group or classroom-based settings to support progress across the curriculum. This is a part time role, working 32.25 hours per week for 39 weeks per year (school term time plus 5 days). You will work with students of all ages to support progress and play a key role in our catch-up literacy programme. Ideally you will have experience of working with or caring for children of secondary school age but more importantly you will have the ability to relate well to children and adults.

At Broadland High Ormiston Academy we are committed to providing a safe, happy and inspiring learning environment in which all students and staff can grow, develop and flourish. We have high aspirations for every student both in their academic studies and their wider curriculum. Our academy has a proud history of academic success and pastoral care. We value our staff highly, through support for continuing professional development and through a focus on what really makes a difference to our students. We want every student and member of staff to aspire to achieve excellence in all that they do. Our academy consistently performs above national averages in both attainment and progress at the end of Key Stage 4. This success is driven through our unwavering focus on high quality teaching and learning in every lesson, every day for every student. We fully prepare our students for life beyond the academy with a broad, rich, and cohesive curriculum that enables them to become well‑rounded and responsible citizens, ready to pursue their future ambitions with passion and integrity.
