As part of our continuing commitment to ensure the success of all learners within our school community, this large secondary Academy seeks dedicated individuals to work one to one or with small groups.
You will spend most of your time in our classrooms, working 1:1 or with small groups of students with special educational needs or disabilities, although wider tasks within our Inclusion team are expected and encouraged, including the provision of basic first aid when required. Your key role however is to support our teaching staff in the development, progress, and wellbeing of students.
Working as a Learning Support Assistant can be demanding, and you will need some key skills and personal qualities to succeed. You will need to be able to demonstrate a real affinity for working and communicating with young people, a cheerful and positive attitude, and the resilience to bounce back after a tough day. You will need to have a calm but firm approach, and be unflustered under pressure. You must have achieved 5 GCSE passes at grades 4-9 including English and Maths, or equivalent.
This post is an ideal first step if you are wanting to pursue a career working with young people, including those considering a career in teaching. Applications are also welcomed from individuals returning to the workplace or from other professions who can bring key transferable skills that can have a positive impact on our students.
The closing date for this post is Friday 28th August at 12 noon.
We welcome pre-application visits to our Academy. Please contact our Human Resources department for an appointment.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expect all staff to share this commitment.
All posts will be subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure, medical and reference checks.
Applicants may be subject to a social media presence check.
