We are looking to appoint an LSA to support a reception SEN pupil joining us in September. The position is on a fixed term contract attached to this child (and so will end when the funding ceases).

Applicants should be organised and show initiative and flexibility, be patient and understand the very confidential nature of this role. The successful candidate must have GCSE English and Maths at grades A-C or an equivalent qualification. Preferably the successful candidate will also be NVQ level 3 qualified. Experience of dealing with children with individual and complex needs is essential as is a caring attitude and commitment to the role. In addition, the successful candidate will also have the opportunity to work alongside the staff of St Nicholas Primary School as both schools work together through the Federation arrangement.
Information about the School

The successful candidate will be expected to occasionally work across the federation and travel between schools if necessary.
The Federation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to our safer recruitment checks.
