At Studio West we are passionate about providing the very best education possible for young people in our city, our region and nationally and our strong and committed team share our vision of ensuring all our students not only reach their potential but that they are confident, happy and resilient students who treat each other with compassion and respect. Our academies deliver an ambitious and inclusive curriculum that enables all students to excel academically and socially.

The role of Support Assistant Higher Level is a challenging yet rewarding one. It is an ideal opportunity for those with a strong academic background in one or more national curriculum subjects, who may wish to enter into teaching at some point in the future, to gain valuable experience whilst supporting our students through the delivery of high-quality lessons. An equally exciting opportunity for those who do not wish to pursue teaching but are seeking a career where they can positively impact on the progress and wellbeing of children and young people.

In addition to delivering sessions our SAHLs also play a key role inputting and analysing progress data, supporting teachers to prepare resources for lessons, carrying out other admin tasks, liaising with parents/guardians and supporting all aspects of school life.
