Do you want to make a real difference to young person’s lives? Do you care about helping pupils to achieve their goals and succeed?

In the wake of the coronavirus school closures, inequality in education is starker than ever with disadvantaged pupils facing up to six months more learning loss than their affluent peers. As a school, we are committed to closing the attainment gap for our pupils and ensuring that every young person at our school receives the help and support they need over the next academic year and beyond. We are therefore pleased to be hiring an academic coach to work with our pupils during the school day to ensure that they are confident, able and ready to thrive in their learning.  

The role will see you working with and mentoring students both in small groups (max. 5 pupils) and through 1:1 support. You will work alongside main classroom teachers to identify students who require further assistance and carry out programmes of support.  You will be an integral part of the school providing continuity to students and ensuring their learning stays on track. Therefore, there will also be the opportunity for occasional cover of lessons for an absent teacher (with full cover work provided) to guarantee that students learning is not disrupted by the absence and continues seamlessly.

We are a passionate, hardworking and forward-thinking young team with 7 of our staff members currently on the Teach First programme and 2 trainees. We are part of a group of  ‘Teaching Schools’ with strong collaborative links working across our local school network and multi-academy trust. As part of our culture we have high expectations of our pupils both academically and behaviourally and are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. We have a diverse student body some with pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds, some shy or lacking in self-esteem and the role would be to support and encourage their learning potential.

This is an exciting opportunity for anyone considering a career within the teaching profession, social sector or in a large business.  The role will afford the right candidate the chance to see all aspects of a successful working school and to be a part of the educational support for the students within an equally supportive staff team. The wellbeing of our all of our staff is important to us, and we will endeavour to help new team members develop and thrive in their role.  

This is a 1 year fixed term contract in the first instance however, the Academy is eager to support those who may wish to move forward into a career in teaching and there is potential for this to lead to a permanent post.

About the Education and Employers charity

Education and Employers is an independent UK based charity launched in 2009 with the vision of “providing children and young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential”. It aims to achieve this by working with schools, employers, the national bodies that represent them and a wide range of other partners including the government and third sector organisations. The charity also works with partners internationally – more details here.

The charity runs Inspiring the Future, a free service which uses innovative match-making technology to connect volunteers with state schools and colleges, quickly, simply and at scale. Schools can very easily search a massive database of willing volunteers, filter against a wide range of criteria – e.g. subject, sector, career route and send them a message. It enables young people, wherever they live, whichever school they attend, the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds doing jobs from across the whole world of work.

Over 55,000 people have already volunteered in the UK - people from all levels: apprentices to CEOs and all sectors: apps designers to zoologists and over 80% of English secondary schools have registered. People can volunteer from an hour a year in a local primary or secondary school to chat informally about their job and career route, take part in career speed networking session, give careers insights, provide mock interviews or feedback on CVs through to serving as a governor or trustee.  There is also the opportunity to link up with schools for workplace visits, job shadowing and mentoring.

Inspiring the Future operates on a technology platform kindly developed in partnership with Deloitte, Salesforce and Ordnance Survey. It allows the charity to run national campaigns such as Inspiring Women and others focused on specific geographic areas or economic sectors such as engineering, science, health and arts and culture. The campaigns have secured high profile support across government, business and teacher associations and ongoing corporate partnerships including our lead corporate partner Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

In partnership with the National Association of Head Teachers the charity has developed a version for primary schools called Primary Futures and over 4,500 primaries have already signed up. To see a short clip on how it works please click here.  All campaigns run through Inspiring the Future share a common objective: to broaden young people’s horizons, raise their aspirations and show them the range of opportunities and careers routes e.g. apprenticeships and university open to them. Over 1.8 million interactions between young people and volunteers from the world of work have already taken place.

In partnership with the National Governance Association the charity runs Inspiring Governance the free governor recruitment and support service. This Department for Education funded service aims to get highly skilled volunteers to serve as governors in some of the most disadvantaged schools in England and in so doing help raise educational achievement.

Since the Charity’s launch it has sought to understand what difference employer engagement in education makes to young people and the economy. It works with academics and researchers from around the world and its own research is regularly cited by government and international organisations like the OECD. The research, which has informed and influenced a range of government policies, shows that employer engagement helps improve social mobility, reduces the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment of training), increases the amount they earn in adult life, helps them make better informed career choices and leads to improvements in educational attainment.

Working as part of the TLG centre team in Reading, the Classroom Teacher post provides a unique opportunity to support young people experiencing educational crisis.

TLG Reading is a centre for alternative education provision delivering tailored social and educational interventions for young people. The Lead Teacher will play an integral role in enabling young people to get their lives back on track, through delivering innovative programmes, and working with the Centre Manager to ensure that the education centre achieves success.

The role involves assistance with the planning and delivery of lessons, leading sessions as timetabled and providing one-to-one support as appropriate to bring excellence to the young people’s learning experience.  The individual will also act as a link between TLG’s students, their families and the church community.

We are looking to recruit an individual with a strong and vibrant Christian faith. TLG is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff including volunteers to share this commitment.  The successful applicant will be required to undertake a DBS check. 

We would welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds to enable us to better reflect the needs of the communities we serve.

The date of initial video interviews and final interviews is to be confirmed.
