Required as soon as possible
Our SEND team is growing as a response to student needs. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to join this small, effective SEND team within our school. You will support the work of other Learning Support Assistants and the SENCo to give targeted one-to-one support for students with Education, Health and Care Plans, including support in lessons as required.
No previous experience is required but you must have a genuine liking for young people and must be able to establish good relationships with the young people in your care. You will be working with a small number of high needs students in the school who can find the mainstream environment challenging. Patience, understanding and good communication skills are essential along with confidence in speaking with students, staff, parents and external agencies. Building positive and trusting relationships with parents and carers is also a key part of the role.
This is a perfect opportunity to work within an extremely successful school and make a significant contribution to supporting young people to achieve their dreams and aspirations. Crossley Heath is a very popular school which achieves excellent outcomes for our young people. We are proud of the dedicated support we provide to young people with AEN/SEN and hope you will be able to help us develop our expertise even further.
