Job overview
Clyst Vale is a thriving and vibrant 11- 18 Community College situated five miles from Exeter. Visitors to Clyst Vale usually comment on the friendly, orderly atmosphere, the courtesy of our students, and the purposefulness in lessons. We have clear expectations and systems, but far more important are the excellent working relationships we establish between staff and students, as well as staff and parents. We remain the only Secondary school in Devon to be accredited Silver Rights Respecting School status.
Clyst Vale has an excellent reputation for supporting students with SEND and this has been achieved as we have an equally excellent team of teaching Assistants to facilitate learning both inside and outside the classroom. Following the appointment of our new SENDCo, and a review of our provision, we are pleased to be able to offer a number of permanent Teaching Assistant vacancies to start 1st September 2022.
The Role
You will provide support to individual students within mainstream classes, and sometimes larger groups within the same lesson, which covers a variety of subjects, including sports and outdoor education.
No experience is necessary, although GCSE (or equivalent) grade C Maths and English are desirable. What is essential however, is someone who has a warm, firm and caring approach with students. In addition to the general responsibilities outlined below you will be required to offer support to students with identified medical conditions. These students will have an individual Health Care Plan in addition to an EHCP. The role will not require direct intimate care, but instead over-seeing of students as they independently change their own medical equipment. The students may require supervision and guidance with physiotherapy exercises or support moving around the college site.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is looking to establish themselves as part of our excellent Teaching Assistant team or for someone who is looking to move into education and sees this as a potential steppingstone.
Working hours for all roles are Monday - Friday 08:40 - 15:20 - 1057 hours per annum over 39 weeks.
Whilst ideally we are looking for staff to work the full time hours noted above, for the right candidate there can be flexibility in these. Please indicate in your application the hours you are looking for.
The salary quoted below is for the full time role and would be pro-rata for any less hours.
Grade D Teaching Assistant - Salary £12822 (actual) rising to £14157 (actual) after 4 years
The Additional Support team works closely with subject teams, pastoral staff and parents to provide support for students with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) but with a child-centered approach which looks to build upon success and enable all to fulfil their potential. The College works towards the effective inclusion of all students with SEND into mainstream lessons wherever possible while, at the same time, providing the necessary support to enable them to succeed.
To apply, please visit our website: http://www.clystvale.org/vacancies/ Please indicate whether you are interested in fixed term or permanent position, and whether you would like to be considered for the roles which include some personal care elements.
Closing date for all applications is Midnight Sunday 10th July 2022.
Interviews will take place on Monday 18th July 2022.
