Job Title: Midday Learning Support

Location: Stanton Vale School, Thoresby Road, Long Eaton, NG10 3NP

Grade/Scale: Grade 05 (Point 04-05), Actual Salary £6,687 - £6,821

Start date: ASAP

Contract: 15 hours per week, Term time only

Stanton Vale School is a vibrant, stimulating and specialist community in which pupils and staff value themselves and others. We aim to challenge, motivate and empower individuals with the skills and knowledge for a life beyond school. We want the students and staff of Stanton Vale to be both aspirational and inspirational. We are passionate training and developing our staff.

This is an ideal role for someone looking to develop a career in education working with children with special educational needs and we are happy support candidates through NVQ level 2/3 TA qualifications if desired. Reporting directly to the Senior Intervention Assistant, the ideal candidate will have knowledge of personal care procedures and physical disabilities, successful experience of working with young people with behavioural needs and experience of working in a classroom setting. We look to appoint staff who are willing to contribute fully to the life of the school and who are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

The children and young people who come to us have a range of needs and abilities but are primarily categorised as Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) or Complex Learning Difficulties (CLD/PMLD). However, we try not to talk about disability. Our culture and ethos is very much about abilities and how we can nurture and develop skills and knowledge to help our pupils for life beyond school. 

Benefits include: LGPS Pension Scheme, school holidays, Westfield Health and free parking.
