Learning Support Assistant

We are looking for an energetic and enthusiastic person, to assist with enabling students with special educational needs in both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, to access the full curriculum within the Brookvale Groby Learning Campus.

We are seeking someone with experience of supporting teaching and learning in a formal setting, along with knowledge of child protection and health and safety procedures.

It is essential that applicants hold Level 2 qualifications in Maths/Numeracy and English/Literacy. 

Providing toileting support to relevant students may be required, following negotiation with the applicant and after appropriate risk assessment and training have been undertaken.

This is an exciting time to join our campus and we look forward to working with a new member of staff who will share our ambitious vision, “Valuing Everyone, Achieving Excellence”.

The campus has been through a period of significant change having converted to a multi academy trust in 2017 and a merger to a single academy trust from September 2019.  Our founding schools were Brookvale High School, an ‘outstanding’ 11-14 high school, and Groby Community College, a 14-19 upper school graded as ‘good with outstanding features’.  Now, as a united campus, we meet the educational needs of over 1500 students, with over 300 of those enrolled in our Post 16 provisions.

We have a strong ethos of valuing everyone and achieving excellence for all.  We set very high standards for our students and ourselves, we work hard, we look after each other, and we are committed to professional learning for all staff.  As a consequence the motto we use on a daily basis with our young people is to work hard, be kind, which we feel symbolises the culture we aim to create on campus. 

We have a spacious semi-rural campus location and most of our students live in the surrounding villages, with some travelling from Leicester and its western suburbs.
