Teaching Assistant (Supported Learning Group)

About this role

Clyst Vale is
a thriving and vibrant 11- 16 Community College situated five miles from
Exeter. Visitors to Clyst Vale usually comment on the friendly, orderly
atmosphere, the courtesy of our students, and the purposefulness in lessons. We
have clear expectations and systems, but far more important are the excellent
working relationships we establish between staff and students, as well as staff
and parents. We remain the only Secondary school in Devon to be accredited Gold
Rights Respecting School status.

The
role

We are
seeking a committed and enthusiastic Grade D Teaching Assistant to join our
supportive and friendly team. The successful candidate will work closely with
teachers to support high‑quality learning, provide targeted interventions, and
help create a positive, inclusive environment for pupils who are starting at a
new provision within the College.

The Supported
Learning Group (SLG) comprises of 15 Year 7 students who joined us in September.
These students follow a highly differentiated, primary style curriculum,
covering a broad range of subjects in Key Stage 3 and then working towards
functional skills and life skills qualifications in Key Stage 4. This is a
unique opportunity to work with students who have EHCPs with needs in
communication and interaction and cognition and learning who are extremely
vulnerable but keen to attend school and access learning.

The role will
involve supporting students in their specialised and mainstream lessons;
developing strong working relationships with their teachers, running 1:1 and
small group interventions and becoming one of the trusted key adults in their
team. The role will involve working exclusively with this class and following
them from Year 7-11 as they move up through the College.
