What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint a member of staff to join the Pupil Support Team in supporting all staff and pupils across the full age range at The Willows. The role would involve working with pupils on a 1:1 and small group basis, delivering a range of appropriate interventions. We are looking for someone to enhance the offer of the established team as the numbers across the school have increased significantly over the past 7 years.
You would be expected to manage your workload efficiently, keep accurate records of the interventions they have delivered as well as work as part of the tam in dealing with day to day incidents.
Knowledge and experience of working with external agencies such as social care would be beneficial. Training will be given around dealing with behaviours however it is desirable that the person who joins the team has experience in working with children and young people with additional needs including MLD, ASD and SEMH. Training in delivering interventions would also be something we are looking for when choosing the right person for the role. The ability and passion to work alongside parents and carers in supporting their child or young person whether it be regarding a personal or family concern is a priority.
