We are looking to appoint Learning Support Assistants with experience and/or interest in supporting the teaching and learning of our pupils. All pupils have an Autism diagnosis and associated difficulties. We value high standards of achievement for all of our pupils and we are looking to appoint excellent Learning Support Assistants to join the team, who will make a positive contribution to the education of our fantastic pupils at Harry Watts Academy.
Harry Watts Academy is a specialist free school in Sunderland opened in September 2020 for autistic pupils aged between five and sixteen years. We pride ourselves on having a shared belief that all children have a right to the best education that can be provided and a learning and working environment where all are respected, valued and achievements celebrated.
Harry Watts Academy is a split site school, with locations in both Sunderland (Redhouse) and Washington (Harraton). Currently, our Engage and Explore pathways are based at Redhouse and our Discover pathway is based at Harraton. You will therefore be willing to support the teaching and learning of pupils on any of our three pathways on either of our sites.

Prosper Learning Trust was established in January 2018 with Newcastle Bridges School and Mary Astell Academy.

We are striving to further build collaboration across the schools and grow as a Multi Academy Trust, whilst continuing to strengthen our relationships with schools outside the MAT for the benefit of our pupils.
