What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint a number of enthusiastic and committed Education Health Care Assistants to join our busy, demanding and rewarding school, starting in November 2025.
Under the direction of teachers and senior staff, you will provide support to individuals and groups of children to access outcomes as outlined in each individual’s Education Health Care Plan.
You will support pupil’s education, health, medical, physical and general care needs following agreed plans, promote effective communication for all pupils using a range of agreed strategies e.g.: Makaton, PECS, communication aides etc. and provide general support to the teacher in the management of pupils and the classroom.
Whilst we particularly welcome applicants with experience of working with children and young people, it is more important that you have a child centred approach in working with our very special children as a full programme of training and development will be provided.
What the school offers its staff
We pride ourselves on meeting the needs of our children and their families. We already have a dedicated and hard-working team and together with the pupils, parents, staff and governors, we continue to develop and provide exemplary practice and achievement.
Well-being and professional development for all staff is a strong feature of the school and should you be successful we offer:
• a full induction and training package
• specific mentoring and training opportunities to develop expertise
The school has achieved many externally validated accreditation and awards, including our re-accreditation for autism through the National Autistic Society, the Inclusion Quality Mark and Rights Respecting School Award through UNICEF.
Commitment to safeguarding
Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, volunteers and trustees to share this commitment. Our recruitment process follows the keeping children safe in education guidance.
