SEN Learning Mentor

32.5 Hours Per Week, Term Time + 5 Insets

Are you looking for an exciting challenge in a new environment? An excellent opportunity has become available for an innovative, enthusiastic SEN Learning Mentor at Ossett Academy & Accord Sixth Form.

We are seeking to appoint to the role of SEN Learning Mentor to support Lead SEN Learning Mentors and the SENCO with curriculum provision and learning support for targeted students at risk of significant underachievement and to support individuals with enhanced needs; specifically but not exclusively supporting students with enhanced needs on the autism spectrum. 

In this varied role applicants will be required to demonstrate flexibility, have some experience of working with vulnerable/challenged/challenging children and young people and the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues and students alike.  

At Ossett Academy and Sixth Form, we strive to create an environment where students enjoy learning and are given the opportunity to stretch themselves both academically and also through a wide range of other extra-curricular activities. Our success is founded on traditional values set in a warm, friendly environment.   

Ossett Academy is part of the Accord Multi Academy Trust which is a Wakefield based Trust; all four academies in the Trust are closely located to one another which lends itself to many opportunities to work closely and collaboratively. All academies are within a three-mile radius of one another and can be found a short drive off junction 40 of the M1. 

Talk to our staff or pupils and you will find out how proud we are of our unique academy, its supportive atmosphere and strong team ethos. We’re more than happy to speak with prospective applicants to get in touch and see what makes us great! Contact the HR team on hr@accordmat.org  and we’ll make the arrangements or would be happy to answer any other questions you may have.
