Kingsbury Green Academy, judged as ‘Good’ by Ofsted in every category when inspected in April 2022, is part of the successful Ascend Learning Trust. We are an ambitious, forward thinking 11-18 years Academy situated in a beautiful location on the outskirts of Calne in Wiltshire.

The post involves supervising and mentoring students and maintaining appropriate standards of behaviour in the school inclusion room, known as H1. Enthusiasm and a strong presence are essential and ideally candidates should have experience of working with young people, either in a pastoral capacity e.g. as a TA or Mentor or in a teaching/tutoring capacity.
