What skills and experience we're looking for
To join our team, you will need to have a strong commitment to pupil’s learning, as well as caring and supportive qualities. Our children’s achievements are very important and the adults at Barlow Hall work with great dedication and enthusiasm to make sure that each child achieves the very best they can.
You will need to understand the urban context of our school. It can be a challenging and also a very rewarding place to work. We can offer the successful candidate an enjoyable work place with highly trained and supportive staff as well as a commitment to your own learning journey and continuing professional development.
This post will involve supporting children who are in our Resource Provision, working alongside our specialist teacher. This will involve working directly with the children in small group or one to one teaching, as well as occasionally supporting them in their mainstream classrooms. It will require some liaising with external agencies, such as Speech & Language and Occupational Therapy in order to deliver the children’s bespoke programmes. There will be support required during unstructured times such as break and lunch times, in order to facilitate and co-ordinate activities promoting social interactions between pupils.
