We currently have opportunities to join our dedicated team of Subject Support Mentors who work within either a subject team (Business, Engineering, English Mathematics, Science ) or our inclusion/SEND team.
The JCB Academy is committed to changing the lives of young people by developing them into the engineers and business leaders of the future. Working in your assigned team, you will support disadvantaged learners from Y9, Y10 and Y11 to make progress. You will also provide classroom support for learners with specific learning needs and Education Health Care Plans. In addition, you will act as mentor to a group of mentees across the three year groups. You will need to be able to understand learners’ barriers and the strategies which will ensure they are best supported to grow in confidence, make positive progress and achieve academic results which secure their next steps. Other duties will include lunchtime supervision (for which you will receive a duty meal), exam invigilation and supervising cover lessons for absent teaching staff.
The JCB Academy develops business leaders and engineers from Y9 to Sixth Form and provides Intermediate (level 2) and Advanced (level 3) apprenticeship programmes. We also deliver Engineering and Business T-levels which provide learners with an additional qualification choice after their GCSEs. With state of the art facilities, and working with the likes of Bosch Rexroth, Harper Adams University, JCB, Rolls‑Royce and Toyota Motor Manufacturing, we ensure that the curriculum is embedded in real industrial practice and includes genuine industrial challenges. Our aim is to provide a world class experience to learners and staff.
We offer a benefits package which includes membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, Employee Assistance Programme (including financial guidance, legal enquiries, support for issues at home and at work), access to JCB’s dental scheme (monthly fee), free access to the academy’s gym, free on-site parking and Cyclescheme.
