The Learning Academy Partnership (Dunsford Community Academy) has an exciting opportunity for a Learning Support Assistant to join our School Trust Family!
At Dunsford, we provide children with a rich and vibrant curriculum in partnership with our families and local community. Our children are at the very heart of everything we do. We want the best for our community and our guiding motivation is for children to be aspirational, brave, and thoughtful, so that they can have a positive influence on the world around them. We pride ourselves on providing a wide range of experiences and opportunities for all, removing barriers to learning and empowering children to achieve the very best.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting our mission that every child has the right to live life to the full and flourish, regardless of their starting point. If you are someone who wants to have a profound impact on the future lives of our children, we’d love to hear from you! Our wellbeing strategy enables us to nurture and develop, and you will be supported by an energetic and dedicated team who care about children and the community.
Our School Trust is underpinned by our four core beliefs; we are stronger together, a sense of belonging; removing barriers and realising the possible. This means that by working collectively, we can achieve our absolute best to ensure that children, especially the most vulnerable, can flourish.
We can offer you:
● A culture that takes work life balance extremely seriously for all its colleagues
● The chance to work as part of a collective in a values-led School Trust, a single organisation
● Opportunities to develop your career with our growing School Trust through our excellent development practice
● A strong, proactive wellbeing network across the School Trust
● Access to a 24-hour Employee Assistance Programme
● Trust benefit schemes
● A generous Local Government Pension Scheme
All our schools are each at the centre of their local communities and celebrate their individuality and distinctiveness. A core feature in how we work as a School Trust is our collective approach in delivering an exceptional education for all children. We do this through working very closely together in mutual support and challenge to empower excellence for our children, families, and the communities that we serve.
In short, our ethos is one of working together to Empower, Excel, Together.
