Are you an emotionally intelligent, fun, resilient and determined person who is passionate about education? Are you looking for a new challenge? Would you like to work in a school where nothing surprises you and no two days are the same? This is a highly rewarding role in a fantastic, challenging and unique school.

Beormund Primary serves children with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Our children arrive having experienced some form of trauma(s) and all have an Education & Health Care Plan with varying needs such as speech, language and communication needs, ADHD, ASD or ODD.  All our children need patience, time and care.

We rely on a successful, driven team of people, dedicated to improving the lives of some highly vulnerable children and their families. We are currently looking to recruit new members to our support staff team. People who can look beyond the behaviours children display as we seek the messages they are attempting to communicate. Our curriculum is personalised with an aim to support children who have been excluded from a mainstream school(s) and reignite their love for learning.

 We hold high expectations of our children who make accelerated academic progress as well as improve their social and emotional responses and behaviours. Successful candidates will have the responsibility for keeping children safe, enhancing their self-esteem, providing appropriate challenge as well as supporting teachers in delivering purposeful, inspiring and engaging learning experiences.

 We are looking for Teaching & Learning Assistants who:

·        have a dynamic personality, caring attitude, patience, enthusiasm and emotional intelligence;

·        have a keen interest in children’s learning;

·        have knowledge of the national curriculum and can provide fun, purposeful and engaging learning opportunities

·        can demonstrate excellent written and oral communication skills; display competent English and Maths skills

·        have the ability to work as part of a team as well as the confidence and keenness to learn and work on their own initiative

·        can work well under pressure, are resilient in nature and have a good sense of humour.

The safety, welfare and wellbeing of the children is the first priority of Governors and staff at Beormund Primary School. All appointments are subject to appropriate vetting and barring checks, as described in the current DfE Guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’
