We are a collaborative group of academies who work closely with one another in order to achieve the best outcomes for our young people. As a result, our academies have improved year on year and all academies are currently at least Good from an Ofsted rating, with some individual areas rated Outstanding. This is an exciting time to join our Trust as we look to set out our next steps in creating brilliant schools. We are an ethical Trust whose vision and values are aligned to equality and diversity, collaboration and lifelong learning. As our family of schools continue to grow, we recognise that this presents potential opportunities for professionals who share our vision of building brighter futures for our young people with SEND. We have sites based in Sunderland, Billingham, Easington, Peterlee, Ripon, Bedale and Harrogate (Starbeck) with vacancies arising at different times of the year and as a result of this we offer candidates the opportunity to join our 'Active Talent Pool'. If you meet our high standards at the assessment stage but you wish to wait for a role in a specific academy, we will retain your details for three months. This ensures that as soon as a position opens in your preferred location, we can move quickly to welcome you onboard to our family of schools. Please note that by joining our talent pool, you consent to Ascent Academies' trust securely storing your application and interview notes for a period of three month. We will contact you directly should a suitable vacancy arise at your preferred location during this time. We currently have the following contract types available within our academies: permanent, temporary, maternity cover and casual which are available on a full-time or part-time basis. Should you be successful at stage 1 of the shortlisting stage, we will contact you to enquire which academy you are interested and we will be able to share with you the current vacancies within the academy or academies you would like to be considered for.
