Curriculum Support Technician job summary
We are seeking to appoint an inspirational and innovative Curriculum Support Technician to work at the Hospital, Education and Reintegration Service based at Abbot Alphege Academy, Bath. The successful candidate will work alongside teaching staff, to enable students to access education.
The successful candidate will have experience of planning and running individual sessions in a varied environment, at school, in the home and in the community. They will need experience of working closely with parents/carers to support individual pupil needs, have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to liaise effectively with families and service staff.
This is a new role which will be developed alongside the successful candidate. The role will include supporting pupils, who have been signed off from school due to health needs. Experience of working with pupils with social and emotional needs is essential.
A typical day would include greeting pupils on arrival, supporting those who may be anxious and need a safe person to regulate with, providing individual and small group interventions, liaising with families and supporting the service administration to ensure a smooth and successful educational journey.
The Hospital Education, Reintegration Service is based in Bath but sits under The Mendip School, a specialist school based in Shepton Mallet and is part of The Partnership Trust. The service works with pupils from across Bath and North East Somerset and therefore there may be some travel involved. We would however, expect the majority of this work to take place at The Hive, our main base.
The Mendip School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check. They will need to be able to drive and, on rare occasion, transport/visit pupils (Fuel expenses covered).

Thank you for expressing an interest in working The Mendip School, a school for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders and Speech, Language and Communication Needs aged 4-19.
The Mendip School is part of the multi-academy trust partnership known as The Partnership Trust. This status allows the school to be more autonomous and to focus on initiatives that raise aspiration and achievement for children and young people.
The Mendip School staff and governors are committed to and passionate about the learning and progress of our pupils. We have high aspirations for our young people and we aim to provide a high quality, relevant and balanced education for all our pupils that focuses on individual, personal and academic achievement. Students are taught in small groups, usually with more than one member of staff in attendance. There is a happy and positive atmosphere in which young people can fulfill their potential and grow in self-confidence with respect for the people and environment around them.
We would welcome applications from people who may currently be working in mainstream schools as full training and support programmes are offered to those who have limited experience of working in a special school.
