Advanced Teaching Assistant

Welcome from the Principal:

We are an 11-18 academy, based in the Historic Market Town of Hemsworth near the Cathedral City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, with a curriculum designed to stretch and enrich our students’ experience. Our relentless focus on learning ensures everyone has the right to learn.

Part of the Outwood Family since 2018, we are a welcoming and supportive academy, with a relentless determination to provide the very best education for every child. With a holistic view of education, we aim to create a safe and secure learning community that encourages healthy and sustainable lifestyles and empowers students to pursue career pathways they will find stimulating and deeply rewarding.

We are proud to have been awarded Gold Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.

As we continue to improve and progress, help to take us to the next level.

We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice.

All academies within the Outwood Family have gained the IQM Inclusive Schools Award with 18 having Centre of Excellence status and one holding Flagship status.

If you share our vision, join our family. At Outwood Grange Academies Trust we are a family of schools that strive to raise standards and transform lives. Outwood Academy Hemsworth is excited to offer this opportunity to work as an Advanced Teaching Assistant. The successful applicant will provide classroom support and out of class support to our amazing children, timetabled and planned by our inclusion department.

You will be empowered with the knowledge to support the learning of our well rounded children. We are looking for an individual who has high aspirations for children, committed and passionate about learning; who has the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our children and share our goal of ‘Students First’.

The role of an Advanced Teaching Assistant across our Academy is to promote the learning and welfare of children by providing practical and learning support to children, including those with Education Health Care Plans, under the direction of the class teacher SENDCo or the extended inclusion team. Outwood Grange Academies Trust provides a high-quality learning and cultural environment that inspires and motivates children.

Whether you are ambitious for progression, or determined to be an outstanding member of our support team, Outwood Academy Hemsworth is the place for you.
