Becket Keys' students are passionate about their school and staff will tell you that this is an exciting and exceptional place to work - with an 'Outstanding' Ofsted judgement awarded in our first (2014) inspection. The school offers a high quality education in a caring, Christian environment in which each student is known, valued and encouraged to achieve his/her individual potential. We are committed to outstanding academic performance and to fostering a love of learning in our students.
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/ Level 4 or above.
· Have a love of learning and be committed to professional development.
· Be hard working and a great team player, with good interpersonal skills.
· Be articulate and committed to achieving high academic standards for all children, including those with SEND.
· Be motivated, organised and able take initiative, when necessary.
· Be kind, caring and have a patient personality.
· Be flexible and keen to take on additional responsibilities as they arise.
· Be confident to support students across Key Stages 3 and 4.
· Be able to assess students' responses to learning tasks and, where appropriate, modify methods to meet individual needs.
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.
Becket Keys is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
