Inclusion Support Assistant job summary

We are seeking a compassionate, resilient, and enthusiastic Inclusion Support Assistant to join our dedicated Inclusion team within our specialist SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) provision. The position will be offered on a fixed term basis for 6 months initially to cover maternity leave, but this may be extended.

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine impact on the lives of young people who face significant challenges in mainstream education.

As Inclusion Support Assistant, you will support pupils both in and out of the classroom, helping them to engage with learning, build emotional regulation skills, and achieve personal and academic success.

This could be an ideal opportunity for someone who is looking to change career and move into education, or for someone who is considering training to become a teacher to gain some classroom experience.

Perins School offers a supportive and rewarding work environment, with opportunities for professional development and growth. If you are a dedicated and enthusiastic individual who is ready to make a positive impact on the lives of our students, we encourage you to apply.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if a high number of applications are received. Therefore please submit your application as soon as possible.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools

We currently do not use AI tools in our recruitment processes; however, we understand that you may choose to use AI tools to help you with your application.

If you do, please remember:

• AI-generated answers can often be generic and impersonal, which may not accurately reflect your qualifications, skills, and experiences.
• AI-generated applications may lack the personal touch that human-written applications have, this may make you seem less engaged or interested.
• Ensure the information provided genuinely represents your own voice and experience.
• You must not provide false or misleading information.
• If you rely too heavily on AI you might not develop the necessary skills to communicate your experiences and qualifications effectively in interviews or other stages of the hiring process. This may make you come across to the interviewer as a different person to the one that wrote the application form, and you may not be successful in the interview.

Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.

Visas cannot be sponsored.
