Required as soon as possible.
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic candidate who believes in a strong team ethic, have a passion for SEND and Inclusion, can set high expectations for themselves and others, are flexible and adaptable and can demonstrate a resilience in ensuring every individual is recognised for their potential.
We encourage applications both from those wishing to begin a career working in schools and those with experience who wish to further develop their skills and expertise.
Our successful SEND team provide opportunities and support a wide range of needs, including SEMH (social, emotional and mental health), autism and complex communication needs. Students with SEND make excellent progress and have consistently outperformed national averages over the past 3 years.
Our inclusion based Learning Support Assistants play a key role in ensuring all children succeed and have access to a provision that creates opportunities and supports academic progress.
Being part of this team will give you the opportunity to show and develop a wide range of inclusion skills. Working 1:1 and with small groups of students across both Key Stage 3 and 4, you will directly support learners with SEMT and specific learning needs.
You will work as part of a team and be given opportunities to develop a wider range of SEND and Inclusion skills, including CPD to enhance your knowledge of SEND linked areas such as autism and SLCN (Speech, Language and Communication Needs).
We are a team that works together and our Inclusion LSAs may cross over into the classroom to ensure support for individuals is continuous as they reintegrate from Inclusion back into mainstream lessons. You will also be given scope to develop independence, create and lead on initiatives and identify opportunities for self growth and development within the field of Inclusion and SEND.

Hours – 28 hours and 50 minutes, term time only plus 5 training days
