SEND Teaching assistant

Due to rapid expansion in Serenity School Coulsdon , we are holding immediate interviews for Support staff (group and 1-1) .

We are seeking experienced class support staff (Progress partners) to join us on our successful journey to holistically promote Inclusion, Independence, and Self-worth in all areas of school life to our amazing students.

At Serenity Education we are dedicated to meeting the academic, therapeutic, and vocational needs of our students. Our mission is to create, adapt, and implement functional curricula necessary to meet the diverse individual needs of our student population and increase current and future independence.

Aim: 

We are intrinsically humanistic in all of our approaches. Serenity School by virtue of its name has been established as an independent schools’ group with the sole purpose to nurture, care and eliminate barriers that harm and prevent natural childhood development that are commonly associated with vulnerable children and their families. These barriers can potentially ruin life chances of young people who are not accessing education or do not feel included in school and their communities. Through a multi-disciplinary approach, we effectively address the root causes of underachievement, lack of self-worth, and an unmanageable lifestyle using our Socio-Education Model. 

At our schools, we offer outstanding opportunities, experiences, and support. Each one offers state-of-the-art learning resources, specialist facilities and qualified experienced staff and as our young people learn and grow, we encourage our team to develop too.

As Serenity Schools grow into three schools, Eltham, Coulsdon and Crawley (Crawley opening January 2023), we continue to talent spot and identify talented teachers, support staff and other professionals. 

Serenity Schools Group is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils and young people. We have a robust Child Protection Policy and all staff will receive training relevant to their role at induction and throughout employment at the School. 

This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check. We are an equal opportunities employer welcoming application from all sections of the community.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and a comprehensive screening process will be undertaken on successful applicants including an enhanced Disclosure Check.
