Job overview
The Governors are seeking to appoint an additional Student Support Assistant to work directly with individual students across the school. The purpose of this role is to enable individual students to cope with the demand placed upon them by school and home in the face of difficulties which their lives present – such as organisation issues, anxiety, bereavement and many other issues prevalent among young people. The focus is to remove barriers which inhibit learning and self-fulfillment.
St Michael’s Catholic Grammar School is a small school with a distinctive Catholic ethos. Students at the school are very well behaved and the school is a very pleasant working environment.
The appointed person would be approachable and confident in speaking to individuals or small groups of young people. Good organisation skills are necessary, as is the ability to deal with distressing situations as well as with parents, other staff and external agencies. Writing up notes and communications by email and phone are also features of this post. The appointed person will also support the administration of SEN and organise reviews and meetings.
*This is an additional post created as part of our response to Covid-19, it is offered as a temporary post in the first instance - 6 month contract of 20 hours per week (negotiable), 39 weeks of the year - but will be reviewed towards the end of the contract period. This person will work under the direction of the Deputy Headteacher and in conjunction with other staff. Ideally suited to this role would be someone with an enthusiastic outlook who enjoys a hands-on approach to solving problems. The appointed candidate will be flexible in their approach to the work undertaken and be able to make adjustments in order to face unexpected issues which may present themselves. The ability to manage a range of competing demands and to prioritise work is very important.
Closing date: 3rd January 2021 - interviews will take place soon after.

“St Michael’s is an outstanding school. Standards are exceptionally high, amongst the highest found nationally, both at GCSE and A level, and continue to improve. The [then-] headteacher and her deputy provide outstanding leadership. They, very ably supported by the senior leadership team, have a strong vision for the education of girls rooted in the Catholic faith, which contributes so much to the ethos of the school.”
