At Anthony Gell School, we pride ourselves on providing academic excellence within a caring, supportive and inclusive environment. Situated in the heart of Wirksworth and within easy reach of the Peak District, Derby and Chesterfield, we are a successful 11-18 school with strong links to our local community and a real sense of pride, mutual respect and belonging.

As our Apprentice Teaching and Learning Assistant, you will work alongside experienced teachers and the SENDCO to support students with additional needs, helping them to access learning, develop their independence and achieve their potential. Support will take place in the classroom, in small groups and through individual 1:1 work with students across Years 7 to 13.

You will have the opportunity to:

• support students to access the curriculum and become confident, independent learners;
• work with individual students and small groups as well as supporting learning within the classroom;
• build positive relationships with students, colleagues and parents/carers;
• act as a positive role model and promote high expectations for learning, development and behaviour;
• support students' wellbeing and integration into the classroom;
• develop practical skills in areas including behaviour support, adapting resources, assessment and learning interventions; and
• contribute to transition arrangements for students.

Alongside your role in school, you will work towards the Teaching Assistant Level 3 qualification with DCG, combining professional training with valuable day-to-day experience in a secondary school environment.

Anthony Gell School is part of Embark Federation, a family of Derbyshire schools built around the values of Family, Integrity, Teamwork and Success. Being part of Embark gives our staff opportunities to work collaboratively, learn from colleagues and explore future career opportunities across the Trust.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is patient, positive, organised and keen to learn, with good communication and teamwork skills and a genuine desire to help young people succeed. Applicants need GCSE English and Mathematics at grade C/4 or above.

This is an excellent opportunity to earn while you learn, develop a recognised professional qualification and begin a career where you can have a genuine impact on young people's lives. Following successful completion of the apprenticeship, the advert states that there may also be an opportunity to remain at Anthony Gell School in a Teaching Assistant role, with further career opportunities available across Embark schools.
