At Kenton we are passionate about providing the very best education possible for young people in our city, our region and nationally and our strong and committed team share our vision of ensuring all our students not only reach their potential but that they are confident, happy and resilient students who treat each other with compassion and respect.

Following the promotion of our team members into teaching roles, we are seeking applications to join our team of Support Assistant Higher Levels providing high quality cover for absent teachers across the school.

The role of Support Assistant Higher Level is a challenging yet rewarding one. It is an ideal opportunity for those with a strong academic background in one or more national curriculum subjects, who may wish to enter into teaching at some point in the future, to gain valuable experience whilst supporting our students through the delivery of high quality lessons. An equally an exciting opportunity for those who do not wish to pursue teaching but are seeking a career where they can positively impact on the progress and wellbeing of children and young people.

In addition to delivering sessions our SAHL’s also play a key role inputting and analysing progress data, supporting teachers to prepare resources for lessons, carrying out other admin tasks, liaising with parents/guardians and supporting all aspects of school life.

We are seeking applications from candidates with not only a minimum of an A-level qualification in a national curriculum subject, ideally combined with previous experience working with secondary school age children, but the flexibility, initiative, interpersonal skills and confidence to design and deliver high quality sessions to meet the needs of all our students, whatever their barriers.

If you have the skills, commitment and enthusiasm to succeed in this role, we want to hear from you. In return we can offer you,

• Access to the Local Government’ Pension Scheme

• Salary sacrifice schemes including Car Sacrifice, cycle to work and childcare voucher schemes

• Free on-site parking

• Free gym access at Kenton School
