Learning Support Assistant

We are looking to appoint an exceptional 1:1 Learning Support Assistant to provide support to an individual child in the Early Years Foundation Stage with specific needs in this unique School.

Applications are welcome from those particularly experienced in working with children with SEND or with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.

The staff member will need to use their initiative to support the child emotionally, pastorally and academically during their time at school. They will need to support them in their ability to access, and get the most out of, the day to day routines, transitions and activities.

It will be important for the staff member to liaise closely with the relevant Pre-Prep staff, SENCo and parents. The ability to be a team player is also essential.

Closing date: Monday 17th October 2022

Interview date: Friday 21st October 2022

Suitable candidates may be interviewed before the closing date and Wells Cathedral School reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made. 

Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply early.

Wells Cathedral School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers, and obtaining an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Services certificate. In addition, as part of the shortlisting process we will carry out an online search as part of the School’s due diligence.

All positions within the School are exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. All applicants must therefore declare all previous convictions and cautions, including those which would normally be considered "spent" except those received for an offence committed in the United Kingdom if it has been filtered in accordance with the DBS filtering rules.
