What skills and experience we're looking for
As a member of the ARB team, you’ll have a passion for supporting pupils with special educational needs to access their full potential as part of a mainstream school.
All successful candidates will have high expectations and skills in positive behaviour management. They must also have previous experience of working in a primary classroom setting with children who have additional needs.
Candidates should have experience of working with children with communication and interaction needs. They must be strong team players and will need to be effective communicators as the role entails working closely with parents and outside agencies as well as other staff members and children. It is essential that they are able to follow and adapt planning to individual need, assess outcomes and acknowledge next steps in partnership with the class teacher.
What the school offers its staff
We have invested in providing a bespoke, exciting and creative curriculum which inspires and motivates children and supports high quality learning.
At Pensans we believe that children need to have a connection with their local community and the wider world. Staff plan learning opportunities within their projects to get children outside in our wonderful school grounds as well as our local environment and around Cornwall. Children get to experience a Forest School programme and experience camps and residentials to enrich their learning further.
We love to be involved in our local community and regularly link with neighbouring schools, churches, we perform at the annual St Piran’s celebrations and Mazey Day as well as many local sporting events.
