Post No. EDS00371.18 - Teaching Assistant - L2 - Llanwern High School

27 Hrs Per Week, 39 Weeks Per Year

Llanwern High School is an 11-18 mixed comprehensive school serving much of the eastern side of Newport. We are housed in a new building that provides a learning environment and facilities appropriate for a 21st century school. We currently have just over 1100 pupils on roll.

We believe that education should be about preparing young people with the key skills and behaviours that they will need for a successful future, hence our school vision of “Nurture, Growth, Success for All”.

We pride ourselves on the wider opportunities to support pupil development outside of the classroom, such as our recent production of Grease, our Cultural Showcase, alongside regular sporting fixtures. We have a pupil leadership team that is actively involved in decision making across the school and supporting community projects.

In 2022, we were the proud recipients of the inaugural Betty Campbell MBE award for promoting the contributions and perspectives of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities. We are a school that fosters an environment of kindness and respect built upon the positive relationships between pupils and staff.

At Llanwern High school you would be part of a supportive school environment with staff wellbeing high in our priorities. We provide high-quality support for colleagues at all stages of their careers, with bespoke professional learning from both internal and external providers. September 2024 will see the launch of a new middle leaders’ course to sit alongside opportunities for staff aspiring to be senior leaders.

Llanwern High School is looking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to support pupils from across the key stages. This post will involve working with pupils on a one-to-one basis, small group situation in our ALC or supporting in mainstream. The successful candidates will be able to familiarise themselves with the educational needs of pupils and draw on information provided by the school and SENCO in order to provide the best support possible. We are looking for candidates who are motivated, patient and supportive. Full details regarding this position can be found in the Job description and person specification.

THIS POST REQUIRES YOU TO BE REGISTERED WITH THE EWC.

This position is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) and is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS).

Closing Date: 7th May 2024 (11.59pm)
Interview date: TBC
