Introduction

We are a world class primary special school in Derby with a range of pupils and needs in our school. Our school has a family feel by supporting each other and this is a great opportunity for an apprentice to join our fantastic team and develop their own knowledge and confidence by supporting the class teacher to enhance learning.

About the Employer

The Spencer Academies Trust is a multi-academy trust with schools across the East Midlands, and with a strategic focus on Nottingham and Derby.

What You'll Do

Working closely in a class team to support the teaching and learning and needs of the pupils
Promoting our CiC drivers in the classroom by accessing the community, encouraging pupil's independence and ensuring they develop their communication
After time, support and training to be creative in your thinking to help the class by making resources, ideas for the provision and adapting teaching to ensure pupils stay engaged
Supporting the teacher with the daily uploading of photos and striving for a world class environment for our pupils
Our staff will say that no 2 days are ever the same and that is why they love working at St Giles!

Training Outcome

At St Giles, we love to grow our own staff. We have had a lot of apprentices over the last few years who have become a teaching assistant within our school once their apprenticeship has finished and then some have developed further in becoming a HLTA (higher level teaching assistant) which involves running their own interventions and covering teachers.
