At Mother Teresa Catholic Academy Trust, we recognise that exceptional support staff are fundamental to the smooth operation of our schools and to creating environments where pupils and staff can thrive. Our Support Staff development pathway, supported through the Supporting Education SkillsHub, offers a structured, high-quality professional learning framework designed to build capability, confidence and professional identity in non-teaching roles, including finance, administration, HR, operations, site management, and pastoral support.

This development offer equips support staff with the practical skills and knowledge needed to excel in their roles, including financial processes, systems proficiency, project planning, effective communication, and service delivery. Through tailored accredited training, specialist workshops, coaching and mentoring, support staff deepen their expertise, enhance professional practice, and contribute to improved operational effectiveness across the Trust.

Finance and administrative colleagues benefit from targeted development in areas such as budgeting, procurement, compliance, data management and reporting, ensuring that financial stewardship is effective, transparent, and aligned with best practice. Other support staff pathways emphasise professional confidence, customer service excellence, well-being support, and collaborative working, enabling all staff to contribute meaningfully to the Trust’s mission.
​
By valuing support staff development, providing recognised qualifications, and fostering opportunities for career progression, this pathway ensures that every member of the Trust workforce, whatever their role, is empowered to grow, contribute, and make a positive impact within their school and wider community.
