Are you passionate about supporting learners with special needs and/or disabilities (SEND)?
We are looking for enthusiastic Learning Support Assistants to join our friendly team here at Hillview School for Girls.
WHY CHOOSE US?
Hillview School for Girls is a popular, high achieving, non-selective school based in Tonbridge, Kent. We provide focused education for girls from Year 7 to 11, to support them to become confident learners. In Years 12 and 13 we educate our learners in a mixed environment as preparation for work and further / higher education.
Hillview has a dedicated team supporting learners to think innovatively through an inspiring range of activities in lessons and as part of our extensive extra-curricular offer. We are an inclusive environment which believes that SEND learners are best supported in the classroom, with a specialist teacher so LSA’s will often support in the classroom. However, we also offer an intervention programme in small groups and one to one within the Learning Support Department as well as duty desk oversight of our learning support hub. Your role may be in the classroom or the hub depending on the dynamic and changing needs of the department
You will have the skills to:
Deliver planned 1:1 and small group support as needed, and as specified by the Director of SEND which may include movement (e.g. sensory circuits) or support, literacy and numeracy, social understanding or emotions
Work with designated subject area staff to provide in-class support for students with special needs and / or disabilities
Identify when a learner is struggling emotionally and be able to support as directed
Actively encourage students to participate in learning tasks and activities consistent with their developmental level, physical abilities and medical conditions
Provide praise and encouragement to students to recognise and promote positive pupil behaviour in line with school policies
Use equipment and materials in a correct, safe manner consistent with legal and school requirements
Be able to recognise and refer any safeguarding issues by following school policy
Professional skills and attributes
Work well as part of a collaborative team
Excellent timekeeping, punctuality and able to work to deadlines
Strong communication skills
IT literacy
Model a growth mindset through flexible thinking and commitment to continual personal development
Give encouragement and feedback using language and vocabulary which the student is likely to understand
Be able to build effective learning relationships with learners, whilst maintaining professional boundaries both in your language and behaviour with learners.
