Job description

England Lane Primary Academy are looking to appoint a Teaching Care Assistant to join our academy in September 2025 on a part time, temporary basis.



Do you want to work for a Trust that is transforming educational outcomes for students in some of the most deprived areas in the North of England? If so, this could be the role for you.

Your new role

As a Teaching / Care Assistant, you will provide one to one personal support for pupils with additional needs. You will provide special educational and/or medical support to ensure their successful engagement with and access to learning. You will need to maintain professional records and appropriate notes in relation to the individual pupil.



Please see the attached job description on our website for the essential criteria and more information on the role.



If you feel you have the necessary skills and experience required for this position, then we would very much like to hear from you.

Your new school

England Lane is a primary academy situated in Knottingley, West Yorkshire. There are approximately 187 pupils on role including 18 part time Nursery pupils. 31% are in receipt of Pupil Premium and the deprivation indicator is 0.36. The catchment area we serve is predominantly the Knottingley area.



At England Lane Academy everyone works together within a positive, calm and nurturing environment, insisting upon high aspirations for all pupils and staff. We believe that our children need to leave us with well developed personal and social skills, independence, high self motivation, healthy lifestyles, strong self belief and secure basic skills in literacy and numeracy. At all stages, we promote these core aspects with parents, carers and the wider community. Our behaviour policy has transformed behaviours, including learning behaviours. Pupils are proud to come to England Lane. They feel safe, happy and are meeting the high challenge and expectations set by leaders and teachers.



Our team understands the importance of valuing all of our staff members and modelling the mutual respect we expect from our students. Adults within our academy lead by example, rising to challenges and enjoy reaping the many rewards that come from working with young people.



At its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2019, England Lane was judged to be good in all areas.

Why join us?

Staff across the trust are talented and enthusiastic, and all contribute to the trust's success story.
