Do you believe, like us, that all students deserve an exceptional education, personalised to them, so that they can be the very best version of themselves? That we all need help sometimes – some more than others, but we will be there when they do? Then this may well be the role you have been looking for.
We are seeking to appoint a well organised, skilled and professional person to support students within the School and Sixth Form. If you are passionate about young people, enjoy variety in your role and thrive on working in a busy environment this is a great opportunity for you. The successful candidate should have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, relate well to young people and possess Maths and English GCSE Grade C or above (or equivalent).
Working as part of a team, within many different departments, is a crucial aspect of the role, so you must have a flexible attitude to react to different situations throughout the school day and the ability to use your own initiative within the learning environment.
The role will entail supporting students, either one-to-one or in small groups, both in a classroom setting as part of the wider class, or sometimes by way of interventions in our well resourced Support for Learning department.
Are you able to:
· Work flexibly and use your own initiative?
· Communicate effectively with a friendly and helpful disposition?
· Work calmly under pressure?
Responsibilities:
· To work under the direction of the SENDCo and Assistant SENDCo on a daily basis.
· To assist in the education, supervision and welfare of students in the classes you are assigned to and around the school
· To create a positive atmosphere and professional impression that reflects our core values and ethos
Benefits:
· Working in a highly motivated team of colleagues
· The opportunity to gain further experience and career progression at the school
