Teaching Assistant (Wellbeing)

Grade 6 (SCP 15-23) – 35 hours per week term time only
Actual Salary Range (including 5 training days per year)
£22,721-£26,213

The New Leaf Inclusion Centre is the only KS1, 2, 3 & 4 pupil referral unit in Walsall.  Most pupils are placed at the Centre for social and emotional reasons which have often resulted in them becoming resistant learners.  Far from having learning difficulties, many simply find learning difficult and need a different approach.  Consequently, the ability to engage with challenging and vulnerable learners is an essential part of this job.  When the structures around learning are effective, pupils can and do settle to learning at this Centre and progress can be rapid, rewarding and sustained.  Most of the pupils have already experienced significant school and social exclusion in one form or another and the Centre works hard to mitigate the social disadvantages that have resulted in their placement at New Leaf.  They are some of Walsall’s most vulnerable learners and as such should benefit from the very best we have to offer.

Our staff are hard-working, experienced, friendly and supportive.

Visits to our school are encouraged.
