Do you want to help primary‑aged pupils rediscover Ambition when learning has felt challenging?

Are you ready to build Character through calm, consistent and trusting relationships?

Can you create a Safe, steady environment for children who need extra support to thrive?

If so, Richard Barnes Academy are looking for you!

Your role:

You’ll support teaching and learning our primary‑aged children, helping them re‑engage with education in a nurturing alternative provision shaped by our core pillars of Ambition, Character and Safe. You’ll work with individuals and small groups, clarifying instructions, encouraging focus, and guiding pupils through challenges so they can build strong learning habits and emotional resilience.

You will model positive communication, use consistent behaviour strategies, and help create calm, purposeful classrooms where young learners feel secure and ready to progress. Working closely with teachers, senior staff, parents and external professionals, you’ll play a vital role in personalising support, especially for children with SEND or SEMH needs.

This role suits someone patient, empathetic and confident in supporting literacy, numeracy and behaviour. What matters most is your commitment to helping every child move forward with ambition and the belief that they can succeed.

About us:

Richard Barnes Academy is an alternative provision academy committed to supporting and raising the aspirations of children who have been permanently excluded or are at risk of exclusion from mainstream schools. We value our staff and offer a supportive and inclusive work environment where you can make a significant impact on children’s lives, helping them achieve their full potential.

Alongside making a measurable difference every day, you’ll benefit from professional development, supportive leadership, and the chance to work within a Trust that champions equality, wellbeing and continuous improvement. This is a place where staff go above and beyond—because the impact is real, visible and deeply rewarding.

Join us and enjoy a fulfilling career where your contributions are recognised and valued.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
