We are looking to appoint a high quality, experienced and committed teaching assistant to work with students and join our welcoming and supportive team of staff.
Effective support of students with special educational needs and/or disabilities is a key priority at Chantry Middle in order to help all students achieve their full potential.
With a track record of supporting students to achieve their targets and knowledge of strategies used, we are committed to supporting you in your ongoing professional development. You should have excellent communication skills, commitment to working in a team and very good numeracy and literacy skills, to at least GCSE Grade C standard or equivalent.
Chantry is a large middle school with over 500 students from Years 5 to 8, situated in the town of Morpeth in Northumberland. We pride ourselves on being a fully inclusive and truly comprehensive school with high standards. Our purpose is to provide experiences to inspire, motivate and meet the needs of all learners. We encourage a lifelong love of learning to enable all to develop the attitudes, skills and knowledge to become confident communicators and responsible citizens. Further information about the school can be found on our website.
The school is part of the Cheviot Learning Trust. Whilst the schools within the Trust are separate with their own unique identity, there is one engaged and supportive Board of Trustees, to whom each school reports.
We are strongly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment.

If your application is successful, this self-disclosure information will be checked against information from the Disclosure and Barring Service before your appointment is confirmed. This role will include Regulated Activities and an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure is required for this post.
