1:1 Learning Support Assistant
5 days per week - 8.45am to 3.15pm (including 1/2 hour unpaid lunch)
Total hours: 30 hrs per week
Term time only (38 weeks per year)
Pay Band - Scale 4
Required 30th October 2023 (may consider a later start date)
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated Learning Support Assistant to join our friendly and hardworking team. The post is affixed to provide particular and skilled support on a one-to-one basis to a child with significant learning and behavioural needs in our Reception class in September. While the post is attached to a named child, there are times when we allocate LSA support across a range of individuals with SEND needs, and so you may be expected to work on a 1:1 basis with different children across the school, if needed. The successful applicant will have a 'solution-based' attitude, will emanate positivity and will uphold our Christian values: Aspire, Care, Empower.
We are a Trauma Perceptive Practice school and the key principles are embedded in our vision and our practice.
Compassion and kindness instead of blame and shame
Hope instead of hopelessness
Connection and belonging rather than disconnection
We have a friendly and supportive staff and fantastic children.
The successful applicant should preferably have:
- Experience of working in schools
- Good literacy and numeracy skills
- A commitment to meeting the needs of all pupils
- An ability to work on their own initiative
Some supervision of children during break and lunch times will also be required.
The Governing Body is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment. The appointment will be subject to an enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references, and medical checks.
