Opportunities within Infinity Academies Trust

Connex Education is keen to connect talented education professionals with schools across Newark and the surrounding areas, including potential opportunities within Infinity Academies Trust.

Infinity Academies Trust is a multi-academy trust with schools across Lincolnshire and neighbouring communities. The Trust aims to help children develop, achieve and flourish through supportive school environments, collaboration and a commitment to learning.

Its schools include academies serving communities across Lincolnshire. As Newark is in Nottinghamshire, candidates should be aware that opportunities within the Trust may be more relevant to neighbouring Lincolnshire communities than to Newark itself.

For Teaching Assistants, working within a school community can offer the chance to support pupils’ progress, work alongside dedicated teachers and help create positive experiences for children throughout their education.

We’re keen to hear from candidates who are:

• Passionate about children’s learning and development.

• Patient, caring, approachable and enthusiastic.

• Reliable, adaptable and proactive.

• Confident building positive relationships with pupils and staff.

• Able to work effectively as part of a team.

• Committed to safeguarding and promoting children’s welfare.

Previous experience in a school, nursery or childcare setting is beneficial, but a positive attitude and a genuine desire to help children succeed are equally important.
