Nurture Provision Teaching Assistant job summary
Plymouth CAST is a Multi-Academy Trust comprising thirty-four schools plus a nursery situated within the Catholic Diocese of Plymouth with whom there is a close working relationship. The Trust is seeking to appoint a Teaching Assistant who will provide high level support in the Star Nurture Provision for children across Plymouth.
In September 2021 Plymouth CAST were asked by Plymouth Local Authority, alongside another Multi-Academy Trust, to set up a Nurture Provision with the aim of reducing the exclusion of pupils in the primary schools across Plymouth.
The aim of the Nurture Provision is to offer an affordable option for schools to purchase places for up to 6 weeks at a time when other models of working with the pupil have not been successful. The Nurture Provision uses positive behaviour support techniques to engage the pupil back into education with the ultimate aim of them returning successfully to their ‘Home School’.
Plymouth CAST are seeking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to work in the Star Nurture Centre which is based within St Peter’s Catholic Primary School, Plymouth. The successful candidate will work alongside the Nurture Provision Lead and one other Teaching Assistant.
This is an exciting and high-profile venture that would suit someone with a passion for inclusion and a good understanding of trauma informed approaches. You will be given full support and training to develop your skills further, which will include close working relationships with the other Nurture Provisions as well as officers from the Local Authority.
If you feel that you have the necessary skills and competencies, and the passion to make a difference to our children and young people, we would love to hear from you!
Essential requirements are:
Recent experience of supporting and working with children with special educational needs. This can be from a care, support worker or educational background.
A passion for inclusion and a good understanding of trauma informed approaches
A nurturing and patient approach to learning and understanding
The aptitude to build positive relationships with primary pupils.
The resilience and empathy to support pupils with SEMH needs.
Is knowledgeable and compliant with policies and procedures relevant to child protection and health and safety.
Closing date for applications 18th April 2022
Interviews will take place on 29th April 2022
