We are looking forward to employing a Support Assistant to facilitate and develop the play and learning of some 3 and 4 year old children with special educational needs within Chichester Nursery School, ensuring that they have full and safe access to all learning opportunities within our free-flow environment and are supported in their learning and development.
The post is term-time only, from 9am – 12 noon Monday to Friday. The post will be initially until the end of the Summer Term 2024 though there may be the opportunity to extend the role beyond this, depending on the numbers of children with additional needs.
Applicants will be confident, reliable, adaptable and committed, and have a real love of working with young children and supporting their learning through play. They will also have the ability to be patient and understanding, but also firm when necessary.
The successful candidate will work under the direction of our Special Educational Needs Coordinator and support the implementation of an Individual Plan that has been agreed with parents.
Previous experience of working with young children is essential, and experience of working with children with special educational needs is highly desirable.
We can offer you the chance to work as part of an outstanding team, with great expertise, who will work closely with you and support you in your role.
In line with our commitment to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, the post is subject to enhanced DBS clearance checks. In addition, health checks will be carried out and references will be taken up prior to interview. Only applications submitted on the WSCC (non-teaching post) application form will be considered. CVs alone will not be considered.
Visits to the School are welcomed.
