About The Role
Barclay Academy is a thriving and ambitious school where students are encouraged to work hard, aim high, and be respectful. We are a welcoming and inclusive community with the highest expectations of our students, supported by strong pastoral care, expert teaching, and a calm, purposeful environment. Our staff are collaborative, reflective, and determined to make a meaningful difference to the lives of our young people.
We are seeking to recruit a part-time/full-time (25/37 hrs/wk) Teaching Assistant with a passion for working in education and working with young people. Experience of primary and phonics would be welcome. For the right candidate, we would be happy to work within school hours.
The Academy has implemented a new knowledge-based curriculum. The aim of the curriculum is to develop culturally literate young adults who have the knowledge and skills to be successful in any walk of life. Teaching Assistants are managed by the Inclusion Department, but exist very much within subject departments, using their own knowledge and experiences to support students in one or two particular subject areas.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
In line with up-to-date research, we use effective models of supporting in-class that allow students to be as independent as possible, while receiving the scaffolding they need to ensure they can achieve. Teaching Assistants communicate closely with the subject teacher so that they gain experience in co-planning and co-delivering parts of lessons, and they are there to support the whole class, not just one individual. Teaching Assistants are expected to know the curriculum of the subject(s) in which they support, as well as to know the particular Special Educational Needs of students in their classes.
All new Teaching Assistants have regular access to in-school training opportunities, to develop their understanding of a wide range of Special Educational Needs as well as to further their wider professional development.
