Located in the village of Ashover in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District, Eastwood Grange School is an independent, special day school for up to 60 boys and girls aged 5-19 years.
The students present with a variety of differing complex to severe educational, social, emotional and mental health needs and have experienced many different school environments, many of which have been unable to meet their needs. This has impacted their personal and educational development, often resulting in our children and young people feeling very unsettled within the school context. We aim to support children and young people with their educational, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing needs in a way which supports them to feel safe in school and thrive in their learning.
You will assist with the management of the learning environment, ensuring that any relational breakdowns or physical occurrences are addressed promptly. You will assist senior staff by contributing to the development of care and learning plans and contribute to the preparation of reports and update daily records and logs. You will maintain a professional relationship while developing a good rapport with young people.

Please be aware that you may be required to work off site (off site provisions). We are looking for committed and enthusiastic people to join our friendly team, working with a unique group of young people.
The school can offer learning experiences and continued professional development opportunities for staff who are interested in developing a career.
The school has recently received its Mental Health School 'Excelling' kite mark and recognises that the support and wellbeing of staff is tantamount to them developing positive relationships with the children that they work with.
At Aspris Children’s Services, we are immensely proud of the career pathway and training we can offer you. As long as you can demonstrate the values needed for a role, transferable skills and life experience, we will give you all the training and support you need to progress!

Resilience – We support some of the most vulnerable children in society who have varying degrees of emotional behavioural difficulties, autism, ADHD and associated difficulties so there will be times where your resilience is challenged.

Organisation – Strong organisational skills are important to support the class teacher and young people with educational activities
Caring – Our young people require the best care we can offer. If you are a naturally caring and compassionate person, this is the role for you.
