One Excellence Multi Academy Trust is a Multi Academy Trust made up of four schools. The Trust was founded in July 2017, and is a mixed Multi Academy Trust. The vision and rationale behind the wider partnership are based on shared values and aspirations, a strong sense of community identity and values of inclusion and aspiration for all.

One Excellence Multi Academy Trust believes in supporting and investing in its staff and has a structured health and well-being programme. The programme includes physiotherapy, nurse support service and drop-in clinic, counselling, mindfulness sessions, weight management, stress awareness, GP consultations and private medical operations if required.  We are also keen for staff to be able to reach their full potential and offer a range of professional development opportunities in all areas of education, nurturing and leadership.

Evenwood Church of England Primary School require a Higher-Level Teaching Assistant with early years’ experience to lead in the new 2-year-old Nursery provision. This is a new venture for the school and will allow the right candidate to make sure that the provision is a success for the school and our families.

 At Evenwood, every child is distinct in their own way, and we want their primary education to be as distinct as them and certainly a chapter of their lives that they will remember. We want each child to strive for academic success in all areas, by generating a real love for learning and offering them experiences that allow them to understand the world around them. We want them to be able to have these experiences the whole time they are in our care. You will have experience working with children; this may be within a school or childcare setting. You will have strong teamwork skills, be caring, self-motivated and patient.
