North East Derbyshire Support Centre is seeking a flexible, committed, enthusiastic and highly skilled Specialist Teaching and Learning Assistant, to be based at our Barrow Hill site.
The school provides statutory education to children who are at risk of becoming, permanently excluded from mainstream school and who are on dual roll. Pupils who attend the school have challenging and often complex needs, and exhibit behaviours that prevent them from attending a mainstream school.
The successful candidate will inspire, motivate, and support pupils to reach their full potential, by providing stability within a nurturing environment. Successful candidates will support the delivery of the nurture curriculum and work independently with young people in small groups or on a one-to-one basis. The role will require preparing and adapting to meet the social and emotional needs of young people to support their academic education in mainstream. Strong behaviour management skills are essential to this post.
Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with disaffected pupils in a school setting, preferably at KS2. An affinity for pupils with behaviour, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour.
The role is based at our High Peak site, however there is a possibility of working, at times, off-site peripatetically in pupil's homes, other venues, sites, or APs, and so access to a car daily is required with added business insurance.
If the needs of the academy changed, the base site may be amended. The base site is to calculate mileage from. Work may be required at other sites if the need arises.
Benefits include: LGPS Pension Scheme, Westfield Health membership and free parking.
For further information, please contact Janine Dix, on 01246 237640, via email to applications@nedsc.derbyshire.sch.uk or visit our website at www.esteemmat.co.uk/jointheteam. Please use the relevant application form on the MAT website; CVs alone will not be accepted.
Closing date for applications: 23 September 2022 (midday)
Interview date: Ongoing

Setting high expectations for behaviour and academic success
Providing a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum that provides the skills, confidence and qualifications to access opportunities in life
