Vocational Teaching Assistant
Advert
Estuary Academy Island opened in September 2024. This school will initially provide education for up to 115 students. Our school will offer a broad and balanced learning journey for students in Years 7 – 11 with a broad range of vocational qualifications available as well as traditional GCSEs in core subjects. Our aim is to provide pathways which lead to exciting onward opportunities in education or workplaces. We will strive to ensure that all our students receive additional opportunities in school to become responsible, respectful and active citizens who are able to play their part and become actively involved in public life as adults. We pride ourselves in our collaborative work with our local communities, we aim to establish this quickly in Sheppey and are very excited about providing a long-awaited invaluable education provision for the Island community. Estuary Academy Island is a cross-phase pupil referral unit which offers a range of long-term and short-term placements. Pupils referred to us often present with challenging social emotional and behavioural difficulties, disaffection and low levels of attendance. Our job is to address these issues, support students in developing strategies to overcome their difficulties and transfer successfully either back into mainstream school or to move forward to further education. The role of a Teaching Assistant is to work as part of a tight-knit team in managing behaviour, promoting re-engagement, modelling appropriate social skills and supporting pupils with their learning. Our expectations for our students are high and staff that are working within the organisation promote aspirational goals and are able to work within clear behavioural boundaries. We are currently seeking a Teaching Assistant to support students either on short-term respite placements or accessing long-term Key Stage 4 provision. Experience and commitment to working with challenging young people alongside firm professional boundaries are pre-requisites of these posts. Are you looking for an exciting new challenge?

The ideal candidate will: Have relentless positivity and can-do attitude. Be able to inspire and support learning both in a classroom setting but also through a range of enrichment opportunities. Be able to play a positive part in a high-performing team. Have great communication skills. Have high levels of patience, empathy and emotional intelligence. Have an awareness of SEMH needs and value the power of education to support these. Have high expectations of all young people. Be wholly child-centred in their thinking and actions. Be committed to child protection and take a personal and collective responsibility for all aspects of safeguarding. Have a creative and flexible approach to working with young people.
