Educational and Pastoral Assistant job summary
As part of The Wensum Trust, we believe that our shared duty is to help every child to develop into high achieving, confident, healthy, caring and resilient members of their family and community. We want our schools to be healthy environments where both children and staff can develop and where strong, positive relationships are key. Our school, therefore, practices a relational approach with children, our families and our communities. We are particularly interested in working with people who share Our Qualities; who will work effectively and flexibly as part of a team.
We are looking for an Educational and Pastoral Assistant, to work across Garrick Green and Lodge Lane Infant Schools for 26.5 hours a week - Monday - Friday. You would be joining a team of experienced teachers and support staff at both schools.
This is a varied role and the pattern of work would be as follows:
Wednesdays and Fridays: working at Lodge Lane Infant School from 8.15-3.15 in our alternative provision room, supporting a small group of children with ASD. This would be working alongside an existing member of staff and under the direction of the SENCo.
Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays: working at Garrick Green Infant School from 10.30-3.30. The mornings would be supporting small groups and individuals with their learning in class under the direction of the class teacher. The afternoons would be working in our Alternative Provision room, supporting a small group of children with high level social and emotional needs. The afternoons would be alongside an existing member of staff and would be under the direction of the SENCo.
This is a temporary role until 31st August 2025, term time only.
Being a part of The Wensum Trust’s family of schools offers employees unique experiences to work alongside our strategic partners and to collaborate with a wider network of staff. We believe in investing in employees as individuals, by providing training opportunities that help to develop both existing and new skill sets, to encourage career progression at all levels.
We value our staff and are committed to supporting their wellbeing. We have an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which all staff can access 24 hours a day. The EAP provides counselling services, legal information and guidance, musculoskeletal services and online resources such as nutrition diaries, healthy eating plans, personal coaching questionnaires and tools and fitness programmes.
We care about bringing together the most able people, to help us achieve our vision of providing a rounded education for children, quality support for their families and opportunities to enrich our communities.
