Job description

CORE Education Trust is a values-driven multi-academy trust rich in cultural and social diversity. Responsible for four academies in Birmingham, the Trust was set up to innovate through adversity and to challenge the conventional boundaries of what is possible for our students. Motivated and inspired by the success of our students, our ambition goes beyond textbooks and whiteboards; we are proud to work with the young people of Birmingham.

This role will be based at Arena Academy - CORE Education Trust. You will be joining a team whose sole aim is to ensure that all students get the very best support, care, and guidance that enables them to achieve their very best.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Our Trust is a place of possibility, and we never underestimate the impact inspirational staff can have on the life chances of our students. We are now seeking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to support and challenge us and our school leaders through the next stage of our trust improvement and growth.

This is a demanding and varied role, and the successful candidate should be committed to improving the lives of the students at CORE Education Trust. You will be an advocate for the vision and aims of the Trust, supporting its mission to provide opportunities for collaboration, support, and challenge across all our schools within the Trust.

WHAT WE OFFER

The successful candidate will join a vibrant learning community with national award-winning credentials. The Trust works collaboratively with leaders to ensure our CORE Values are promoted, embodied, and celebrated by all staff and children. You will:

• Engage in cross-trust activities that connect students and staff to their wider family of schools and peers across the city, including initiatives such as the Echo Eternal Holocaust memorial arts project and The COREus Choir.
• Receive support and training to foster a positive culture of wellbeing for all students and staff.

We emphasize supporting and encouraging personal development, including:

• A CPD strategy designed to support the career aspirations of all staff and help them realize their potential.
• Access to experienced mentors with a strong track record of staff development.

This is an exciting time to join the trust. We have a well-established, outward-facing ethos as a forward-thinking family of schools guided by a vision rooted in optimism, ambition, and unity.
