Marden High is a thriving 11-16 school that represents everything that is exciting about comprehensive education. We are a school with high aspirations for all our students.
We have an enviable record of examination success, and our former students are to be found in many diverse and successful roles, most having moved through further and higher education. Students regularly achieve excellent academic results, well above the national average, but the staff and governors at Marden believe we can always improve even further. We demand that the learning experience for our students moves with the times whilst maintaining the traditions of good manners, discipline and respect for others.
We wish to appoint an enthusiastic and highly skilled Special Support Teaching Assistant to join our successful SEND team, to support students’ learning through class support, small group work and individual programmes of learning.
If you have a minimum of 5 A*-C including English & Maths, an NVQ Level 3 for Teaching Assistants or equivalent qualification/experience, patience, commitment and excellent communication skills, and are prepared to work hard to have a positive impact on our students, this is the job for you.
