Park Aspire is a pupil referral unit for pupils who have been permanently excluded from their mainstream school or at risk of exclusion. Pupils have social, emotional and Behavioural support needs. Some have additional learning difficulties compounded by other complex issues such as mental health problems which combined create barriers to learning.
A Learning & Behaviour Assistant needs to understand complex emotional, social and Behavioural needs of primary aged and key stage 3 pupils. They should be sympathetic and sensitive to the many difficulties our pupils face in their personal lives and help them to overcome those barriers to succeed.
What this means is that every day is different, every day brings along a new challenge.
A Learning & Behaviour Assistant needs to be able to cope with highly complex problems, particularly concerning child protection and challenging behaviours. Some of our pupils are involved in high risk-taking activities, they may lead chaotic lifestyles or suffer from neglect, forms of abuse and be witness to domestic violence and family upheaval.
Park Aspire is a school which treats safeguarding and child protection as a high priority. We are committed to children and are determined to provide them with a safe, secure and successful education experience.
Park Aspire hopes to offer you a highly supportive workplace, one that is visionary, inspirational and accepts nothing but the best for our children. You will be provided with opportunities to access related training and encouraged to develop your skills through performance management to further your career.
