Grafham Grange School is an academy for students with social, emotional and mental health challenges, located in the Surrey Countryside, 20 minutes from Guildford. We provide an all-round education for children aged 10-16. 

The vision of Grafham Grange School and as such, the intent of the curriculum, is to be able to provide every child with access to an accredited education at a level appropriate to them, further tailored to meet their needs with opportunities for vocational learning. This combined with support to help them to learn strategies to deal with the anxiety and challenges they face, which impact on their self-belief, will enable them to succeed in education and beyond.

We are looking to recruit Pastoral and Learning Support workers to support students both within and outside the classroom either within a teaching group or on a 1 to 1 basis. It is highly desirable, but not essential, that you have experience of working with students with SEMH and associated complex learning difficulties, which includes challenging behaviour. 

The roles available are a temporary full-time 1-2-1 contract or a permanent full-time contract.

The school is extremely well supported in its continual drive for excellence through its Governing Body and OHCAT. The school is committed to CPD across its staff teams.

Applicants must have their own transport due to the rural location of the school.

Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact the Principal Janet Tremble on 01483 892214 for an informal discussion.

Applications and queries should be sent to schooloffice@grafham-grange.co.uk

Please note that CV applications will not be accepted.

Interview Date: Week commencing 27th January 2020

We reserve the right to appoint outstanding candidates prior to the closing date.

Appointments made are subject to a probationary period and an enhanced DBS check.
