Welcome to our school,
Broomfield SILC is a generic special school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with 3 sites: our main site and 3 partnership sites at Windmill Primary, Rodillian Secondary and Future Steps hub.

Some students have additional needs – physical; medical; speech and language; visual, hearing or sensory impairment. We are a very popular choice for parents and carers and currently have 228 pupils on roll.
Broomfield secured a ‘Good’ Ofsted in March 2023 where inspectors commented that leaders have ‘high ambitions’ and ‘high aspirations for all pupils’ and that ‘staff are proud to work in our school’. I am very proud of our school community where staff are committed to supporting young people to fulfil their potential and prepare them fully for their future, particularly focusing on communication, independence, and emotional regulation.
The Governors of this caring and successful school want to appoint a Level 2 LSA to support with embedding a total communication approach across school.
We are looking for an experienced teaching assistant who wants to make a real difference to the lives of our pupils to inspire a desire for learning, to maintain our high standards and make a significant impact on the life chances of some of our most complex pupils.
The successful candidates will excel in meeting the diverse needs of our pupils. You will be supported within your class by a class teacher, HLTA and by a Middle and Senior Leadership Team who have a secure understanding of the rewards and challenges of teaching in our school. Our staff are passionate about developing the learning and life chances and opportunities of our pupils and young people.
In return you will be provided with comprehensive Continuous Professional Development and will be supported by a professional, knowledgeable and friendly staff team who will ensure you are fully equipped to meet the needs of our diverse learners.
The successful candidate will have the following qualities:
- Ability to relate well to children, young people and adults
- Excellent team player
- Resilience
- Ability to use initiative
- Problem solving skills
- Excellent communication skills
- Positive ‘can do’ attitude
- Dedication to improving outcomes for most complex young people
- Willingness to learn, reflect and share effective practice with others
In return we can offer:
- Working with the most inspirational pupils and staff who are respectful, creative and resilient
- The support of a professional, knowledgeable and inclusive staff team
- A comprehensive CPD programme with potential for career development
- An opportunity to be an integral part of the young peoples journeys and a real sense of achievement
