As Oakwood Court College expands, we are looking for resilient, experienced LSAs to join our dynamic team in Dawlish.
Oakwood Court is a specialist independent College for young people aged 16-25 with a range of disabilities and primarily a diagnosis of autism, many of whom have additional disabilities. We were graded 2 (Good) by Ofsted in 2018 and are on a journey to Outstanding.
We are entering a new phase at Oakwood, with a new senior team in place with ambitious plans for the future and a collective desire to become the College of choice for young people with SEND, with a particular specialism in developing communication and social skills through a therapeutically informed approach.
If you're the sort of person who's resourceful, flexible and enjoys working in a team and doesn't hesitate to do that little bit extra, then you could make a real difference to our students with learning difficulties/disabilities. Whilst previous experience in Specialist Education is desirable it's more about having a positive outlook and a good sense of humour.

Are you, person centered, focused, resilient, self - motivated, innovative and skilled at engaging with young adults with learning difficulties?
