Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a dedicated and passionate individual to run our ‘Ready to Learn’ room, where students who are feeling unable to be in lessons can go to get support.
This resource is for use ‘in the moment’, ‘on the day’ and ‘in advance’ for some of our more vulnerable students. Around 30% of our students have a SEN and so sometimes lessons get a bit overwhelming. We are looking for someone who can offer support and a safe landing place before helping them get back on track and back into lessons. This is not a poor behaviour room.
The role would suit someone from a SEND background or who has experience in a Primary setting as well as individuals with SEMH experience.
Are you patient, calm and consistent in your approach to students?
Are you ready to take on new challenges every day in this exciting new role?
If so… we look forward to hearing from you!
