Being part of Outwood Academy City Fields is about bringing high-quality opportunities and experiences to our diverse school. We wish to employ someone who can provide meaningful engagement and help all children, staff and visitors thrive in the areas they work.

City Fields is a multicultural school in the heart of the Wakefield community. Our school supports the local community and the wealth of opportunities our diverse background brings. Anyone wanting to take on this role should be prepared to challenge themselves to meet the needs of a diverse community.

Ofsted noted that putting students first is something that directs and guides actions each day. Because leaders set such a strong example of their high ambitions for pupils, other staff mirror these aspirations. Outwood Academy City Fields is a school where leaders want the very best for pupils in whatever walk of life they engage in.

We are looking for an individual who has high aspirations for students, is committed and passionate about learning, and has the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of Students First.

The role of Teaching Assistant across our Academy is to promote the learning and welfare of students by providing practical and learning support to students, including those with statements of special educational needs, under the direction of the class teacher. This is a rewarding role where you will work to support the learning of individuals or work with small groups of students for whom English is not their first language. The role would suit an individual who has an in-depth knowledge of the English Language or someone who has learned to speak an additional language.

Outwood Grange Academies Trust provides a high-quality learning and cultural environment that inspires and motivates children. Whether you are ambitious for progression or determined to be an outstanding member of our support team, Outwood Academy City Fields is the place for you.

We hope you can join us on our journey!
