We are part of a family of schools that make up the Creative Education Trust and are on an exciting journey to raise standards and ensure we do all that is needed to help the young people we serve to succeed. They deserve an exemplary education and we’re committed to delivering it. Here at The Bulwell Academy, we want the absolute best for every student, and we believe this is best delivered via the highest expectations of every one of our school community members, encouraging all students to aim high and never stop believing in themselves and what they can achieve. This is made possible through our knowledge rich curriculum offer, our CET Knowledge Connected Programme, our clear and concise Behaviour for Learning Policy and our Attitude to Learning Rewards Programme.
We are seeking to appoint a Care Assistant to assist students with their day-to-day personal care needs and to work alongside other professional staff to further students’ independence skills. The post holder will work as part of a team to develop personal care programmes for students and to assist students in implementing their own personal care programmes during the school day, specifically in relation to practical support for personal hygiene, toileting and continence, eating and drinking, mobilising and transferring students, and therapeutic programmes, e.g., SALT/OT/Physiotherapy.
We are looking for applicants who have successful experience of working with children and young people with disabilities, in either a school, nursery, health, or care setting, along with knowledge of personal care procedures and physical disabilities and an awareness of the range of learning and physical needs of young people. The ability to form effective working relationships with students, parents/carers, colleagues, and external agencies is essential.
We are a school that encourages all young people to take responsibility for their actions as we help our students to become independent young adults with confidence and self-belief, striving to fulfill their ambitions and dreams. You will therefore need to have unwavering belief in all young people and their aspirations and want to help them succeed.
