Great Ouse Primary Academy is situated in Bedford and we work closely with all of our local families. We continually strive to provide the best education for our pupils so they become resilient and independent with the key skills needed to become successful citizens of the 21st Century.

In addition, Great Ouse Primary Academy is part of the very successful Sharnbrook Academy Federation (SAF). This is a multi-academy trust made up of five excellent member academies, which has a commitment to excellence in education and puts student progress at heart of all it does. SAF has an outstanding reputation and provides a strong support network and a variety of opportunities for staff in each of its academies.
We are looking to appoint two committed and engaged Key Worker and Support Assistants to join our supportive and busy team. Experience of working within a similar environment would be preferred although training can be provided for applicants wishing to have a profound impact on the lives of young people on a daily basis and gain experience in this field.

A passion for pupil progress is essential together with calmness and the ability to build strong relationships. You will be required to use your initiative to use individual development targets to support their learning and development.

We encourage applications from enthusiastic, resilient and motivational candidates to apply for the post.
