The Collegiate Trust is looking to make an appointment of a Learning Coach - Level 1 at Waterfield Primary School.

 The role of Learning Coach is similar to that of a traditional Teaching Assistant. Collaborating with the teaching team, and under the direction of the Phase Leader/SENDCo, you will be responsible for instigating, supporting and monitoring learning opportunities and the pastoral/personal care of the children in addition for taking responsibility for the logistics, preparation and care of the learning environment. Particular requirements currently in our school include: work within the Early Years Setting, work with children with specific learning/physical requirements (SEND) and working with our eldest children (in year 5 & 6). If you feel you have expertise or experience in these areas, please do highlight this in your application. Another area of responsibility in this role will be involving lunchtime supervision – this is a role that all our support staff take on, however this particular role will require assistance in setting up our dining space for our children as well as supervising the logistics of the dining hall and/or different inside/outside play provisions.

 The Collegiate Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers, online searches and the Disclosure and Barring Service. Appointment will be dependent upon further health, medical, safeguarding and attendance checks.
