Small enough to care, big enough to make a positive impact

Effective support for students with special educational needs and/or disabilities is a key priority across the Seaton Valley Federation of Schools in order to help all students to achieve their full potential. We are recruiting for two Learning Support Assistants (band 2) within a team of experienced Learning Support Assistants who support children in Astley Community High School. As our student numbers continue to increase we are looking to add to our team.
Working under the direction of the SENCo you will have a track record of supporting students to achieve their targets, supporting the delivery of high quality, accessible curriculum and ensuring that all children have the support to reach their full potential. You will ideally also have 5 A*-C grades at GCSE level (or equivalent) including English and Maths and preferably hold a Teaching Assistant or Special Needs Support qualification although we would be interested to hear from people who would like to try for the role for the first time.

You will also need to be able to form effective relationships with students, staff, parents and fellow professionals.



The roles will be working five days per week, term-time plus one training day at the start of the school year. It is expected that your initial working hours will be Monday and Friday 8.30am to 3.05pm, depending on which school you work in, with a 35 minute lunch break each day, although this working pattern may change from time to time to meet the operational needs of the schools.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced criminal records check is required for this post.
