Location: Scarborough, North Yorkshire- The Woodlands Academy
The Woodlands Academy is now part of Horizons Specialist Academy Trust. The Trust comprises of eight Academies across Tees Valley, County Durham and North Yorkshire and together we support over 1000 children and young people with a range of special educational needs.
As a Special Academy, we believe what we offer to our children, community and staff is unique and enables us to be forward thinking in terms of our curriculum and provision. As a specialist Academy for children with a wide range of SEN needs, we have a strong moral compass in everything we do, and this has seen us develop and grow our number on roll (currently 146). Our specialisms are predominantly within Autism, Communication Needs and Social, Emotional and Mental Health.
Our staff are our greatest asset, and we invest in both our teaching and support staff CPD which has placed us in a good position with regards to current educational challenges.
Our Opportunity
Our Academy is growing and is very popular with parents and within the community. We have recently had a successful Ofsted Inspection and have been graded as Good. We have also embarked upon the redevelopment of The Woodlands Academy which has resulted in a new purpose-built Academy. As a result, we are looking to appoint a highly motivated Kitchen Assistant to join our team and work with our catering department to support an efficient catering service operating to the highest standards of food safety. This will include the preparation, cooking and serving of food to pupils and staff in the academy and washing up and cleaning ensuring the maintenance of health & safety standards within the kitchen.
Working in our Academy is incredibly rewarding as we all work together as part of the team enriching the education of our pupils. Our staff are highly regarded, and we pride ourselves on developing our teams to excel and develop their career through specialized training and career paths.
We encourage applications from candidates who have a passion for special education and wish to work in a setting which offers reward and challenge and where no two days are the same!
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a dedicated team who have a clear philosophy and ethos of how they will work together to meet the needs of the pupils in their care and ensure our pupils can be the best they can be.
