The School is looking to appoint a Reading Mentor, to work both on a 1:1 basis and in small groups, to support and assist students with their reading fluency and comprehension. The ideal candidate will be passionate about education and will be able to tailor their approach to reading, to suit individual needs in a way that inspires students to achieve their full potential. There is an opportunity to work solely with our younger, Year 7 students, so experience with phonics or primary reading delivery is desirable, but not essential.

You will be joining a staff that is committed, welcoming, supportive and friendly. We are an ambitious community committed to young people and supporting them on their journey to achieve their dreams and ambitions.
We strive to meet the needs of every learner; drive them, motivate them and support them to achieve. We celebrate all success and truly believe that every student matters and that it is our job as educators to ensure they know and feel that they matter.
Rivington & Blackrod is part of the Leverhulme Academy Trust and we believe that nurturing and supporting staff in team work and collaboration is essential, if we are to provide the highest standard of education for all students within the Trust.
