About Ashcroft Technology Academy (ATA)
Ashcroft Technology Academy (ATA) is seeking to appoint an additional member to join our Inclusive Care and Support team in providing support for students at risk of underachieving. The successful applicant will have experience of working with young people in a school environment and who feels confident in dealing with students who may be in difficult circumstances or who display challenging behaviour. The successful applicant will also be expected to work with the Heads of Year, Leadership Group and staff to accommodate students as necessary such that they are integrated back in to mainstream school as and when appropriate.
Role Requirements
Applicants will be expected to demonstrate strong literacy and numeracy skills, alongside the ability to work effectively as part of a team within a fast-paced and dynamic school environment. The role requires excellent organisational and ICT skills, as well as the confidence to liaise professionally with staff, parents/carers and external agencies, all with a clear commitment to raising student achievement. A key element of the role is providing high-quality one-to-one mentoring for students who have been identified as experiencing barriers to learning, offering targeted support to help them overcome these challenges and achieve their full potential. The successful applicant will be confident in working with young people, including those facing complex or challenging circumstances, and will be able to build positive, supportive relationships that enable students to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
