Our college can offer you a welcoming and inclusive environment with a culture of openness and transparency.

Further details about the role
An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit two Grade 3 Teaching Assistants to work together to support a Year 7 student who is joining our school in September 2025. This student is a young person with complex medical needs. The role involves providing nursing and personal care alongside supporting the student in all curriculum areas and ensuring safe mobility around the school site. The successful candidates will undergo training if needed in a variety of clinical areas such as gastrostomy feeding, and skin care using a competency based framework. You will receive continued support in the role.
Due to the complex medical needs of the child, this post will ideally commence on Monday
2 June 2025 and will initially involve working at Lyppard Grange Primary School in order to gain an understanding of the child’s medical and learning needs, undertake the required medical and other statutory training and support the student’s transition to Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic College in September 2025.
You will need to have appropriate levels of literacy, numeracy and communication skills necessary to carry out the role. Experience of working with children who have complex health problems would be beneficial but not essential. A driving licence is desirable as travel to the student’s home may be required.
Commitment to safeguarding
Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This position is therefore subject to past employment references, social media/online checks and an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.
