Kenilworth Multi Academy Trust has two schools within its Trust, The Westwood Academy, Coventry and Kenilworth School and Sixth Form. We have two vacancies for Teaching Assistants where the roles will be based at Kenilworth School and Sixth Form, Leyes Lane, Kenilworth.

The School

Kenilworth School and Sixth Form is rated as Outstanding by Ofsted (2013) and as the only secondary school in the community of Kenilworth, is oversubscribed. 

We are currently a split site, with Years 7 – 11 based at Leyes Lane and Sixth Form set on our Rouncil Lane site.  This is an exciting time to join us as the school will be moving to a newly built school in Kenilworth in September 2023.

The post holders will report to the Assistant Headteacher for SEN and will join a friendly and supportive team.

The Role

Our Teaching Assistants carry out a varied role to provide general and administrative support to our students.  The responsibilities include working in-class with teachers and supporting students under the direction of the Assistant Headteacher for SEN.  Teaching Assistants provide support with a variety of learning, physical and sensory needs. 

For the right candidate there may be an opportunity to provide one to one support with pupils.

We are looking for someone who is computer literate with a range of good GCSEs, particularly in Maths and English (GCSE A-C or grade 4 to 9).

The hours of work are Monday to Friday 8.40am to 3.40pm but flexibility may be accommodated.

Whilst the role is term time, you will be expected to attend the inset days, for additional remuneration, currently set at four days per academic year.
