We are looking to expand our team of Learning Support Assistants to meet the current needs of our students on the SEN register. The successful candidate should have good communication skills, patience, a flexible approach, as well as the ability to work within a team. Above all, it is essential that you will be committed to supporting students with Special Educational Needs. You will need to have a good general education with sound literacy, numeracy and IT skills to be able to provide support to students across all subjects. Knowledge and experience of working with students who display challenging behaviour is desirable.

We are committed to achieving excellence for all our students, whether it is in public examinations, on the sports field, in a technology challenge or by taking part in a musical or dance production; the opportunities are extensive. Our curriculum is ‘Outstanding’ (Ofsted), providing students with many choices and different ways of learning.
In addition to this we are fortunate to have a highly dedicated and well qualified staff that teach engaging lessons and support our young people in becoming responsible and successful future citizens.

An outstanding education for all is our vision and the right of every student. I welcome you to visit the College at any time to witness happy, safe and successful learning.
