ROOSE is a shared educational provision between four Ryedale Secondary Schools (Lady Lumley’s School, Malton School, Norton College and Ryedale School) to support students who are out of education. It operates as a satellite to Lady Lumley’s School and serves a small cohort of students who are out of mainstream education or accessing blended education. ROOSE provides bespoke education packages to help students return to full-time, mainstream education, equipping them with appropriate skills and qualifications.

You will assist with the whole planning cycle and the management/preparation of resources, supervise classes during short‑term teacher absence, and provide support to pupils, teachers and the academy to raise achievement. You will use your advanced knowledge and skills when assisting with planning, monitoring, assessing and managing classes, and help pupils become independent learners.
