Ofsted Inspection July 2023

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the school due to our ever growing provision for children with ASD.  The Governing Body are eager to appoint a Learning Support Assistant to support children with social communication needs within the Additional Resource Provision and their integration into the main stream school.

The Learning Support Assistant will work primarily in the provision but will also be expected to support pupils to integrate into main stream classes when needed.  The successful applicant will be expected to work across the primary age range.

We ask that interested applicants are:

• Committed to our school values of Nurture, Respect, Learning, Community, Excellence and Excitement;
• Able to demonstrate experience of working with children with ASD;
• Are committed to high standards of achievement and behaviour;
• Are highly motivated and enthusiastic;
• Are able to work in a team but also show initiative to work independently;
• Are committed to Continued Professional Development and able to inspire and motivate others.

Our school offers:

• A new provision within which to work;
• Enthusiastic children;
• A well-resourced environment and a strong commitment to School Improvement;
• A firm commitment to the Continuing Professional Development of all Staff;
• Friendly and Supportive working environment, with opportunities to progress in your career.

We consider this to be an exciting opportunity for applicants looking to work in a supportive and inclusive environment where commitment to development of the whole child is paramount.

Come and meet our children and staff. Please phone the school to arrange an appointment to view the school.

Please apply online.
