Further details about the role
This is a fixed term appointment to provide support to a named pupil with Special Educational Needs which will continue until such time as that named pupil either leaves the school or no longer requires the type of support being provided, at which time that contract will automatically expire unless terminated earlier by you or by the Sir Robert Hitcham CEVA Primary School. The support is expected to last for approximately 7 years, although the school cannot guarantee you any minimum or maximum period of employment. In accepting this appointment, you would agree that, as stated, when the pupil no longer requires the support, your contract of employment will be terminated.
