About This Role

Work where it matters most, achieve what matters more

Be part of a team where passion meets purpose, as we work together where the challenge is greatest to change the lives and build the futures of children and young people.

We are looking for a committed, enthusiastic, and flexible Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to join our exceptional team at Ormiston NEW Academy. As an LSA, you’ll be an integral part of a student’s learning journey—helping them overcome barriers, build confidence, and achieve their full potential.

This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young people within a thriving, supportive, and values-led academy. LSA responsibilities are varied and could involve working with young people who find learning difficult because they have a disability or a health issue, who need help with their behavioural and social development, have dyslexia, or who do not speak English as their first language. LSAs can work either one-on-one or with a small group.

Ormiston NEW Academy is a vibrant and rapidly growing school in Wolverhampton, rated Good by Ofsted and widely recognised for its clear pedagogical model, calm and inclusive culture, and consistent standards of excellence. The latest inspection report praises the school’s leaders for creating a "culture where positive behaviour and discipline are celebrated". Students at NEW Academy understand that they must try their best and strive for excellence at all times. In the most recent Ofsted inspection one student told inspectors, “I know that today will not be my best, because tomorrow will be better”.

Why work for Ormiston?

Our vision is to create a school system where every child thrives, regardless of background. Our people are at the heart of our approach – they are our greatest asset.

We exist to provide the best learning opportunities every day, in every school for every child. It is the people and teams in our Trust who make this a reality and ensure we have the greatest impact. If you join us at Ormiston, whatever your role, your work will have purpose and meaning

• The opportunity to build on the legacy of those who came before – being part of one of the longest standing Trusts, created with the sole purpose of enabling children and young people to thrive

• Being part of a team and community where you belong – being part of a well-resourced and ambitious network of experts and professionals that work at the heart of communities
