What skills and experience we're looking for
In this role, your duties and responsibilities will include assisting children with key areas, e.g. language, reading, spelling, handwriting, and presentation. Helping with the setting up, storing, retrieving, and general maintenance of classroom equipment and teaching aids. You will have the opportunity to develop strategies to support the learning of all children and develop an understanding of the specific needs of individual children with additional needs. The successful candidate will encourage the acceptance and inclusion of all children and provide supervision in and out of the classroom for children with challenging behaviour.
For a complete Job Description, Person Specification, and Candidate Briefing Pack, please view the attached documents. We recommend viewing these documents as they will guide you in preparing a strong application and help you understand what we’re looking for in an ideal candidate.
What the school offers its staff
River Mead School is a single entry primary and nursery school with an average number of children on roll of 250. 37 of these children are educated within the Complex Needs Resource Base, and 34 are in the nursery. The proportion of children living with disadvantage and eligible for pupil premium funding is well above the national average, as is the proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. The school is at the heart of its community and takes the pastoral care of its children and families as seriously as it does their educational needs.
We pride ourselves on our comprehensive induction process and delivering ongoing professional development to all of our staff. We will give full training to the right person, as we believe strongly that it’s much more about attitude and approach than it is about experience. As a result, we welcome applications from people who are passionate about working with children, no matter what their background is.
Commitment to safeguarding
This role involves contact with children. The post-holder will be engaged in regulated activity relevant to children and subject to an Enhanced DBS check before appointment is confirmed. We submit DBS applications upon position acceptance. We follow Safer Recruitment procedures. Interviews include safeguarding questions. Our Safeguarding Policy is on our website. Posts involving direct contact with children are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Amendments to the Exception Order 1975 (2013/2020) provide certain spent convictions/cautions are ‘protected’. These are not subject to disclosure and cannot be taken into account. Guidance is on the Ministry of Justice website.
