Intervention Coordinator for Literacy

At St Bede's Catholic Voluntary Academy, we have an exciting opportunity for a passionate and dedicated Academic Intervention Coordinator for Literacy to make a lasting impact on the lives of our students. This is a rewarding role for someone who is committed to helping young people overcome barriers to learning, build confidence, and achieve their full academic potential.

Working closely with students aged 11-16, you will provide targeted literacy intervention and academic support for learners who need additional help to reach their target grades. Through your encouragement, expertise and commitment, you will help students develop the skills they need to succeed both in the classroom and beyond.

You will thrive in a nurturing environment where every child is valued and supported. Your ability to motivate, engage and inspire young people will play a vital role in raising attainment and transforming outcomes.

This role will primarily focus on Key Stage 3 students, with opportunities to support learners across Key Stage 4 when required. No two days will be the same as you work flexibly with students of varying abilities, helping them develop the confidence and literacy skills needed for future success.

At St Bede's, we are committed to investing in our staff. Alongside making a real difference to children's lives, you will benefit from opportunities for professional development and career progression within a supportive and ambitious school community.

This is a permanent position commencing in November 2026. The role is 35 hours per week (8:30am - 4:00pm), term time only.
