Job overview

Coloma Convent Girls’ School in Shirley is recognised as one of the top non-selective secondary schools in the country, recognising the needs of the whole child. Coloma achieved the accolade of ‘Best School in Croydon’ in the Real Schools Guide in 2020 and in October 2019 received its fifth ‘Outstanding’ Diocesan Inspection report. The whole school community is motivated by the mantra ‘work hard and be kind’ and the school motto ‘to work is to pray.’ We are an inclusive school where all are valued as unique and special.

The Headteacher and Governing Body are seeking to appoint an LSA to provide on-going support for pupils with specific access needs to learning. We invite you to become part of our vibrant and engaging learning community, which promotes the highest levels of achievement and endeavours to enable all pupils to become full members of the wider society. We will expect you to engage in the whole life of the school and be able to work flexibly alongside staff and to have excellent oral and written report skills.   

Working hours will be 8.00am to 4.00pm, Monday to Friday (36 hours per week), plus occasional evenings/weekend events, term time only.

We offer:

  • A school with a strong commitment to all staff
  • A working environment focused on raising standards for all
  • The opportunity to work in a team where your skills, enthusiasm and hard work will be appreciated

Do not be put off applying for a post if you are not a practising Catholic. We welcome applications from colleagues who are supportive of the values of a Catholic School. Many of our staff are members of religious faiths other than Catholic and make an enormous contribution to the well-being of our students.
