Crynodeb
We are seeking to appoint a dedicated and enthusiastic Age Phase Lead to join our growing Learning Support Department. This is an exciting opportunity for someone passionate about supporting children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) to take on a leadership role within a thriving Learning Support Department. The Age Phase Lead (APL) is an LSA who has the responsibility for support, coordination and line management of their defined team and the SEND students within their age phase. Most of the time is spent in lessons supporting students, however you will have 10-12 periods of administration time to be able to effectively follow up with challenging situations, observing students and coaching LSAs as well as some administration work surrounding the Annual Reviews. The APL is a key member of staff supporting their team and dealing with quite complex provision planning. You will have strong links with the SENCO, Deputy SENCO, Head of Inclusion and wider pastoral teams.
The post is available on a permanent basis for 36 hours per week, for 39 weeks term-time. The core hours of work are Monday 8.15am-4.30pm: Tuesday to Thursday 8.30am-4.30pm: Fri 8.30am-4.15pm. In addition, there are several calendared meetings per year that we expect LSA/APLs to attend; dates are available at least 6 weeks in advance and overtime will be paid where it takes you beyond your usual hours.
The successful candidate will be someone who shares our vision for learning and has the skills, experience and determination to join our Learning Support Department leadership team. You will be prepared to learn new skills and grow and develop the role with us. You will work closely with teachers to help modify work, feedback on progress and ensure the learning environment allows for excellent progress and learning for all. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, along with the ability to stay positive are essential.
St John the Baptist School (SJB) is a highly successful school where you can flourish and develop your career. It is a school where teachers can teach effectively in classrooms with students that have a real thirst to learn. Furthermore, it is a place where you will be valued, and your wellbeing is considered as being of great importance. We believe the most effective learning takes place when staff feel happy, supported and appreciated, and we understand the vital role that support staff play in ensuring this. If you would like to know more about the role, please contact Lisa Kenny, the SENCO. Location: Woking, Surrey - 15 minute walk from the train station and excellent transport links via A3 and M25
