About this Role
This is an exciting opportunity for enthusiastic practitioners to join Washwood Heath Academy and work with us as part of the team.
The core purpose of this role is to:
· Support students with SEND and EAL needs in class and out of class
· Work with class teachers to raise the learning and attainment of students
· Promote students’ independence, self-esteem and social inclusion
· Provide support to students, individually or in groups, so they can access the curriculum, take part in learning and experience a sense of achievement
Duties will include:
· Contributing to effective assessment and planning by supporting the monitoring, recording and reporting of pupil performance and progress as appropriate to the level of the role
· Using allocated time to devise clearly structured activities that interest and motivate learners and advance their learning
· Providing cover for colleagues when required
· Providing high quality learning resources for all students though the use of adaptations and differentiation
· Liaising with parents/carers/outside agencies where appropriate
· Communicating their knowledge and understanding of students to other school staff and education, health and social care professionals, so that informed decision making can take place on intervention and provision
In return, we will offer you:
· A collaborative and inclusive culture, where team members will upskill you and give you regular opportunities to learn from each other in a safe and collaborative environment.
· An opportunity to undertake structured CPD via access to the National College online CPD platform and/or apprenticeships such as [the CIPD or Coaching via our Apprenticeship Levy-amend examples based on roles].
· Access to Career Pathways and Pledge to help you plan for and make your goals a reality via our Professional Growth and Performance process.
· A wellbeing culture, with paid and unpaid time off to support life events via our Life Leave Policy, access to a Wellbeing Champion and the opportunity to participate in our annual staff wellbeing survey with Edurio, so we know and can respond to views.
· Access to 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), which includes confidential counselling, access to wellbeing advice and a lifestyle app called “My Possible Self”.
· Access to a suite of supportive policies, such as Life Leave, Wellbeing, Career Break and Family Friendly.
· Access to a generous pension scheme known as the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).
· Access to a comprehensive employee rewards package including Long Service Awards, Employee Referral Scheme, Cycle to Work Scheme and contribution to glasses and eye-sight tests for eligible display screen users.
· Opportunity to be part of key Trust-wide collaborative groups such as the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI working group) and Wellbeing working groups, including menopause support and neurodiversity support.
· Generous annual leave entitlement based on length of service, starting at 30 days pro-rata, rising to 33 at 5 years’ plus service and 35 following 10 years’ plus service. This excludes an additional 2-week paid compulsory closure at Christmas, for which additional days’ leave are gained.
· Onsite parking at all schools.
As a Disability Confident Committed Employer we have committed to:
· Ensure our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible
· Communicating and promoting vacancies
· Offering an interview to disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the job
· Anticipating and providing reasonable adjustments as required
· Supporting any existing employee who acquires a disability or long term health condition, enabling them to stay in work
