Job summary
The focus of this role is specifically to support young people within KS2 through to KS4, who are having difficulty accessing education due to their extremely high anxiety related to other complex needs such as ASD. However, cognitively these young people have the ability to achieve at GCSE and above.
This post will require working within school but may include other settings, including the child’s home in order to meet the needs of the young person.
The willingness and ability to work flexibly is fundamental to this role, as is the ability to build strong relationships with staff, parents and especially young people who are experiencing a range of barriers to their learning. You may also be required to undertake some whole class teaching across the school.
The day to day working pattern will be based entirely on the needs of the young people at that time and will be subject to change as needs change.
This would suit a hard-working individual who is passionate about providing high quality education to all young people irrespective of need. We require an excellent teacher who is meticulous about paying attention to detail and can demonstrate that they are prepared to go that extra mile to ensure pupils are listened to and that programmes of work and methodology are developed in partnership with the young person.
