What skills and experience we're looking for
Our OFSTED rated ‘Good’ school, is looking for two highly skilled 1:1 Learning Support Assistants to work in Year 1 and 2 with pupils with social, communication and high needs ASD. We are also looking for 2 Mid-Day Supervisors to support the pupils at lunchtime. These posts are temporary subject to money following the pupils.
We would like to hear from you if you are:
- forward thinking
- resilient
- have a working knowledge of Autism
- have a knowledge of how to support a pupil’s emotional needs as well as their academic development
- willing to support pupils with intimate care plans
- are able to demonstrate a good use of initiative and responsibility to support pupils’ learning
Our curriculum is set up to explore learning through a hands-on approach that requires skilled professionals to have the ability to promote what is being seen as well as knowing the curriculum well enough to make connections with other areas of the curriculum at the same time; i.e. development of grammar through an investigation or the use of speech. Candidates need to also recognise the small steps that a child needs to take and how this is recorded as part of their Individual Learning Plan. This skilled role will enable a child to unlock their learning and become confident learners – a privileged position indeed.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to enhanced DBS disclosure and pre-employment checks will be undertaken before any post is confirmed.
