Learning Support Assistant – EAL Coordinator

We have a vacancy in our SEN department to co-ordinate and deliver interventions to support pupils who have English as an additional language. We have a small group of delightful EAL pupils that attend our school and this represents a fantastic opportunity to build on the outstanding work of the outgoing postholder. The ideal candidate should demonstrate resilience, initiative, patience and a passion for working with and assisting young people to learn. There are excellent opportunities for career progression and a full induction will be provided. Candidates must have proven literacy and numeracy skills, equivalent to GCSE grade C and above. Successful candidates will be required to deliver interventions to individual pupils or small groups from Year 7 to Year 11. They will work closely with the SENCO and subject teachers to ensure pupils receive the best support possible. Our pupils are a delight to work with and always value the extra support offered by our exceptional Learning Support Department. This post would be suitable for those considering a future career in teaching and is an excellent way to gain experience in a secondary school setting. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a school that is not only proud of its strong reputation and success in the community but also committed to investing in its people. We have an excellent track record of developing and supporting our staff to progress both professionally and in their careers.
