Clarendon Academy is looking for a caring and motivated Teaching Assistant to provide inclusion support to vulnerable students, starting in September 2025. This is a wonderful opportunity to support and promote the school’s culture of inclusivity and meet the needs of all its young people. You will be working with colleagues in the SEND, Inclusion and Attendance teams to support students who struggle to attend lessons and need additional support to build confidence in this area.
Clarendon Academy is a thriving co-educational, non-denominational secondary school and sixth form, educating young people between the ages of 11 and 18. Located in the bustling town of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, we pride ourselves on being a centre of excellence where young, enthusiastic children enter in Year 7 and leave us at the end of Year 13 as fully rounded young adults. Our staff aim for every lesson, every day, to be exceptional and work tirelessly to ensure students feel that they belong and can achieve their dreams. We are part of the Acorn Education Trust, which provides exciting opportunities to collaborate and improve local education. In June 2023 we retained our ‘Good’ Ofsted rating and were praised for offering a high-quality, well sequenced curriculum with the inspectors commenting that “pupils feel safe and cared for in this welcoming and friendly school.”
As an Inclusion Teaching Assistant, you must be able to work across all age ranges and abilities within our school and be prepared to work flexibly to support students with complex needs, including those requiring SEN and behavioural support and liaising with SLT, teachers and SENCO. The role will require you to support pupils with behavioural needs, so experience in this area is desirable. You will work with the Inclusion Team and other staff to support the students who struggle to feel included in lessons.
