Job Title: Intervention Assistant

Location: Derby Pride Academy

Grade/Scale: Support Grade E (Point 10-14) Actual Salary £20,363-£21,721

Contract: 32.5 hours per week, all year round (Part time and/or term time only could be considered for the right candidate) 

 The successful candidate will identify pupils at KS3 and 4 who require reading intervention, deliver a variety of strategies and record and monitor progress and impact. Pupils will be supported to develop their reading ability so that they can access the rest of their curriculum and be a functional member of society when they leave our academy.

Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with Read Write Inc Fresh Start or of another phonics programme. An affinity for pupils with behaviour, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You will be working predominantly with pupils on a 1:1 basis and so must be able to build relationships.  You will be responsible for working with the Site Lead and Phonics Lead to develop our phonics programme and ensure that we have the required resources and books. You will also support with staff CPD and a whole academy ethos of encouraging all opportunities for reading. This can occur remotely.

If you are interested in the role, we would love to hear from you.
