Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
Our OFSTED rated ‘Good’ school, is looking for two skilled 1:1 Learning Support Assistants to work with pupils in Year 1 and Year 4. We would love to hear from you if you are:
• patient
• forward thinking
• resilient
• have strategies for de-escalation and prevention
• awareness of Trauma Informed practises
• have a knowledge of how to support a pupil’s emotional needs as well as their academic development
• are able to demonstrate a good use of initiative and responsibility to support pupils’ learning
• are able to take on others ideas
What the school offers its staff
Our curriculum is set up to explore learning through a hands-on approach that requires skilled professionals to have the ability to promote what is being seen as well as knowing the curriculum well enough to make connections with other areas of the curriculum at the same time; i.e. development of grammar through an investigation or the use of speech. Candidates need to also recognise the small steps that a child needs to take and how this is recorded as part of their Individual Learning Plan. This skilled role will enable a child to unlock their learning and become confident learners – a privileged position indeed.
