Inclusion Support Worker

Can you motivate students to achieve their best? Are you passionate about instilling a ‘Growth Mindset’ and nurturing students to see challenges as opportunities to flourish? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for an inspiring and ambitious Inclusion Support Worker (ISW) to join our skilled and effective team. The successful candidate will have a genuine interest in working with children with additional needs and will be working closely with our students to ensure learning can be accessed. 

The successful candidate will hold GCSE A* - C / 9 - 4 or equivalent in English and Maths, have relevant experience of working with students, and will have a sound understanding of how to support and facilitate the learning and progress of students. You will play a pivotal role in helping students overcome barriers to learning, therefore raising the standards of education attainment.

Interested in career progression? Have you thought about becoming a teacher?

If you are considering a route into teaching, this is a perfect way to gain experience. With the appropriate qualifications, you could then go on to apply to train to teach with us. RMAT is proud to operate as a Lead Delivery Partner for Exchange Teacher Training, working in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University. Once you have successfully completed this initial teacher training, you will be awarded qualified teacher status (QTS) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).

What makes RMAT different?

RMAT is more than just a collection of schools. We're a community dedicated to empowering students, academies, and colleagues to reach their full potential. We pride ourselves on being the kind of place people want to work – our academies are the kind of schools that teachers want to teach in.

We empower teachers with classroom autonomy, provide ongoing coaching for professional development, and value the contributions to student success made by all colleagues at RMAT. We combine classic educational values – excellent teaching, respect, good behaviour, and a strong curriculum – with a forward-thinking approach. We are a community that is constantly striving to learn, grow, and provide the best possible educational experience for all.

Our academies benefit from strong, supportive and compassionate leadership which creates a harmonious environment for staff and students alike. The RMAT community is a place where colleagues can develop their skills, find their own style and methods of teaching, learn and grow alongside their students, and feel that they are making a real difference to the lives of those they teach.
