What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appointment new members to our experienced support staff team. This is a class based role where you will work as part of a team with tasks delegated by the teacher in order to:

o Support children with their learning in lessons.

o Teach children how to read and develop a love of books

What the school offers its staff

Beormund Primary is a specialist special needs setting for children with social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH). We are a school filled with bright, articulate, funny children whose needs could not be met in a mainstream setting. Many have experienced a number of suspensions and exclusions from school which can contribute to low selfesteem, self-confidence and a sense of rejection. All of our children have an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) highlighting their range of medical, social, emotional and/or academic needs so learning has to be personalised in order for our children to make progress.

What we offer as a school:

o Bright, engaging and determined children who will never fail to make you smile.

o A fantastic and supportive staff team who collectively strive to make a difference.

o Continuous Professional Development which will develop your own personal skills and build your confidence. Support staff attend all INSET.

o Regular Reflective Practice sessions – we also encourage a healthy work/life balance.

o 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme – 365 days a year helpline and additional support with legal, financial advice and counselling o Great transport links (train, tube and bus) and free parking – although please note that we are situated within the congestion zone.
