What skills and experience we're looking for
- Work in partnership with the Alternative Provision SENCO Lead, as part of a dedicated HLTA and LSA team, providing skilled support to raise the learning and attainment of identified groups of students.
- Give support to students, individually or in groups, so they can access a reduced and focused curriculum, take part in learning and experience a sense of achievement. This will include a particular focus on developing the whole child including skills for adulthood and employability.
- Assess student needs and progress and use detailed knowledge and specialist skills to support learning, remove barriers and promote student independence, self-esteem and social inclusion.
- Undertake timetabled lessons for groups of up to 8 students. Timetabled lessons will include a focus on Maths, Life Skills and potentially one or two other qualifications, plus non-qualification activity such as cooking, sport and gardening.
- Lead on the delivery and assessment of GCSE Maths as appropriate, working in liaison with the Academy Director of Maths, to include planning, adaptation of resources, marking and reporting.
- Work in collaboration with the SEND and Pastoral senior leaders, to establish and implement adapted and appropriate systems to reward and recognise positive behaviours and ensure a ladder of consequences for negative behaviours.
The successful candidate will have experience in working with students aged 11-19 and a proven track record of successfully working with disaffected young people. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are also required, as essential elements of the role will include building positive relationships, supporting self-belief in the students, removing barriers and being tenacious.
The ideal candidate will hold a Level 2 or 3 Certificate in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools, Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education, or equivalent qualification or experience in a relevant discipline for working with young people aged between 11-19.
