The Trustees are seeking to appoint Learning Support Assistants for Excelsior Academy to start as soon as possible.

The successful candidates will work directly with pupils, providing one to one or group support to pupils of all abilities, including those who are gifted and talented as well as those who demonstrate difficulties in accessing the curriculum. This includes planned sessions as well as responding to situations as they arise.

If you have experience as a Learning Support Assistant or similar role then this could be the role for you.  We would also welcome interest from candidates who are considering teaching as a career, and who would like to gain some experience within a classroom setting.

Working at Excelsior will challenge you but the rewards are huge. Successful candidates will play an important role in our continuous drive for further improvement.

The successful candidate will join a successful MAT where all Academies support each other to the benefit of our pupils and their families. Our Academies also enjoy strong support from an experienced LST central team, based in Newcastle upon Tyne.
