About the Role
We have an exciting new role at The Sele School. We are seeking to appoint three motivated and proactive Academic Support Workers to play a key role in raising standards across the school. This is a dynamic, student-facing role focused on supporting identified pupils to improve their engagement, confidence and academic progress. Working closely with teaching staff and a wider support team, you will support students both in and out of the classroom during the school day — helping them access learning, develop the skills needed to succeed in a positive and structured environment.
A key aspect of the role is providing targeted academic support that keeps students engaged and on task, helping to reduce barriers to learning and promote positive classroom behaviour through consistent guidance and encouragement. This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about education, confident working with young people, and committed to making a real difference to students who need targeted support.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience of working with young people (ideally in a school or similar setting)
- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships quickly
- Confidence in supporting student learning, engagement and independent working
- The ability to motivate students and help them remain focused and on task
- A proactive and flexible approach, with the ability to work across different contexts
- A commitment to inclusion and supporting all students to succeed academically and personally
What can we offer you?
- The chance to work in a positive, welcoming and forward-thinking community where evidence-based methods are seamlessly integrated into teaching and learning.
- A dedicated staff who are enthusiastic and who want the best for students.
- A CPD package which is tailored to suit your stage of career development.
- Cycle to work scheme which is part of the school’s sustainability strategy.
The Sele School community is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and all staff and volunteers are expected to demonstrate this commitment in all aspects of their work.
