Teaching Assistants

John O'Gaunt School is a unique and special place - we offer all the benefits and ambitions of larger schools, whilst offering the care and support that only a smaller community school like ours can. Our philosophy is secured on a bedrock of teamwork - evident across the whole school and the school truly has a family feel. As part of Excalibur Academies Trust, we benefit from shared expertise and strong governance, whilst maintaining our own unique identity, values and deep community focus.

We are looking for Teaching Assistants to join our wonderful Study and Support team, to work with students in small groups and on a one to one basis within the classroom. Applicants should have a good level of education (including GCSE English and Maths), effective team working skills and the ability to work well with teenagers. Previous experience is not essential but would be an advantage. Support and training will be provided.

Excalibur Academies Trust is an equal opportunities employer. The Trust is proud to serve a diverse student and parent community. The aims of the Trust's recruitment policy are to ensure that the best possible staff are recruited on the basis of their merits, abilities and suitability for the position; to ensure that all job applicants are considered equally and consistently; to ensure that no job applicant is treated unfairly on any grounds including race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or religious belief, sex or sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, disability or age; and to ensure that the School meets its commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people by carrying out all necessary pre-employment checks.
