Learning Support Assistant

Job description

We are looking to appoint outstanding Learning Support Assistants to join our team and to promote positive behaviour, attitudes and learning across the school and support students to overcome barriers to learning associated with SEND needs or students who require additional support. You will be committed to the highest standards of support for student welfare and will work collaboratively with students, teachers, parents and carers.  These posts may be on a permanent or fixed term basis depending on the needs of the school.

Who are we?

• OIAMFS opened in September 2013 with just 60 year 7 students, we are now full and oversubscribed every year. We are based next to the iconic home of Bradford City Football Club, Valley Parade. 
• OIAMFS is part of the One In A Million family. One In A Million was established in 2006 as a charity that wanted to make a difference in the lives of young people in Bradford through sport, the arts and enterprise. Our name reflects our values: every child is valued and unique. 

What we offer: 

• We are a small secondary, mainstream comprehensive school, with approximately 375 students across five year groups, so our class sizes are smaller. This means every teacher knows every student and we all know each other which builds a strong team and community within the school.
• A chance to change the lives of young people from deprived socio-economic backgrounds.
• We place students at the centre of everything we do as a school.
• We genuinely value our staff and fully support their development, wellbeing and career progression. We offer a wide range of CPD opportunities and really encourage staff in their professional development.
• A range of benefits, include access to West Yorkshire Pension Scheme, cycle to work and discounted IT plans and we offer wellbeing support through Health Assured and provide wellbeing sessions to staff.

What you offer: 

• With a diverse student base and range of abilities we are looking for someone who can motivate and inspire our students to achieve their best. 
• You will be an experienced Learning Support Assistant who can support students in KS3 and KS4. 
• As a small school we sometimes have to take on a variety of roles so being a team player is essential.
• Share our values of Compassion, Honesty, Integrity and Excellence.
