Learning Support Practitioner

We have an exciting opportunity for a Learning Support Practitioner to join an academy that is really going places. There's a real bus about our academy and the rate at which our pupils progress, but don't just take our word for it, come and see us for yourself. An ambitious, inclusive 11-16 academy in Oldham. We set high expectations for our students in all areas and encourage them to become ambassadors of their community. Quite aside from the opportunity to work with pupils whose energy, creativity and enthusiasm never fail to inspire, our academy is: • Ofsted good/outstanding rated, recognized for helping pupils to progress from often low starting points. • Committed to teacher development through E-ACT's professional learning programme in partnership with leading training providers such as Ambition School Leadership • Leading the way in youth mental health through our very own Mental Health First Aid programme - we aim to train every teacher as a mental health first aider. • A leader in the education sector for outstanding employee benefits including a generous maternity policy and opportunities for flexible working. For a full description of the role, see the job description and job specification. We are an E-ACT academy and proud to be part of a community that includes over 15,400 pupils and 2,300 teaching and non-teaching professionals across the country. E-ACT multi-academy trust is responsible for 26 academies across the length and breadth of England. Our academies can collaborate and share ideas with one another in ways that schools may not be able to. Most importantly, we all feel part of something much bigger than our responsibilities go far beyond the four walls of a single academy, and extend to people and their communities across the country. We are always on the look out for dynamic, motivated and enthusiastic people so we can continue to give every one of our pupils the opportunity to explore, solve, create and achieve. In return, we offer the chance to work with amazing people and inspirational pupils, as well as a great salary and sector-learning work-life balance arrangements.
