Cromer Academy has a big mission - that every student leaves us being able to read confidently and fluently!  Can you help us make this a reality? 

At Inspiration Trust our mantra is that all children can achieve and succeed, no matter what their background. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds have been more adversely impacted by the pandemic and we are therefore seeking reliable, proactive and efficient Reading Mentors to join the following Academies at the Trust in order to help our most vulnerable students close the gap between their reading age and their chronological age. Full training will be provided to deliver Thinking Reading, a 1:1 intensive reading intervention within the context of a high-performing academy chain with a vision for truly inclusive schools. 

The role will require you to help to develop and maintain effective and supportive relationships with the students you work with, and have a calm, clear and consistent approach to working with young people. You will need to deliver the Thinking Reading programme with a high degree of fidelity and engage in the required training in order to be able to do this successfully.

The successful applicants will have:

  • Good ICT, numeracy and literacy skills; familiarity with Excel would be an advantage

  • An excellent eye for detail

  • The ability to work at speed with a high degree of accuracy

  • Experience of working with or caring for children of relevant age

As part of the Inspiration Trust we offer high-quality, personalised professional development, in addition to excellent career development opportunities.
