• Provide numeracy and literacy support to students after the half term.

Starting ideally from Monday 2^nd November but with flexibility over the start date

• Opportunity to gain a well-rounded experience as a support TA assisting in class, with smaller groups and on a one to one basis

This secondary school prides itself on focussing on students’ requirements and providing the best learning experience. The school is housed in a new building with the latest equipment and resources with the school ideally requiring a vibrant and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant who can offer their support.

The school is putting specific emphasis on the year 7 (and 8) cohort as these are the students who have 5 years to progress throughout the school so getting the support and behaviour correct now is key to the long term plan of the school. This is especially imperative given the level of learning that these students lost during the national school closure.

The school is easily accessible from the city centre via the tram link as well as regular bus routes from the South of Manchester and local areas of Tameside, Droylsden, Gorton and Levenshulme.
