To cover a period of maternity leave in the team, we are looking to appoint an enthusiastic Learning Support Technician to support our students with SEND. Experience of supporting students with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) and/ or dyslexia would be advantageous but this is not essential as training will be provided.
The role will involve supporting students in lessons across the curriculum. You will monitor and evaluate student responses to learning activities through the 'Assess-Plan-Do-Review' model, recording this in order to provide evidence of the range and level of progress and attainment. You will also plan and deliver small group interventions under the direction of the SENDCo.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop your skills in working with children with SEND.
The successful candidate will be joining an exceptional, student focused team and will:
• Have GCSE or equivalent English, Mathematics and Science Grade C or above. Be hard working and a great team player, with good interpersonal skills.
• Be articulate and committed to high academic standards for all children, including those with SEND.
• Be motivated and able to work as part of a team, or on your own initiative.
• Be kind, caring and have a patient personality, and be keen to take on additional responsibilities as they arise.
• Be supportive of the Christian ethos of the school.
Becket Keys Church of England School has 'Faith in Learning' this means that we fully expect Learning to take place for all our students on a daily basis. We also bring Faith into Learning as part of our strong Christian Ethos. This does not mean that candidates have to be a Christian, but support for the values and ethos of a Christian school is essential.
Our vision is based upon clear and concise values: Respect, Responsibility and Forgiveness. We expect our staff to know students individually and to provide them the best possible educational experience.
We are keen to appoint dedicated colleagues who are eager to support our students to achieve in all aspects of their school life and who want to be key contributors to our school's success.
Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will need a full DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, which can be applied for once a job offer is made.
The school is committed to safe recruitment and the post will be subject to an enhanced CRB check.
The contract is initial for a fixed-term but this will be reviewed and could be extended for the right candidate.
