We

are seeking to employ an engaging and motivating Learning Support

Assistant. You will

need to have a good general education with sound literacy, numeracy and IT

skills to be able to provide support to students across all subjects. Knowledge and experience of working with

students who are autistic is desirable and you will need to have a willingness

to learn and extend your knowledge in this area. You will also need

patience, understanding and commitment, but above all, you will be sincere with

a genuine desire to help young people.

This secondary specialist provision is

aimed at educating and developing children who, due to their autism, find a

mainstream school setting a huge challenge.

The Resourced Provision provides a challenging and appropriate academic

provision and environment, whilst developing students’ individual social and

communication skills. The role within the Resourced Provision is also one which

supports sensory, communication and anxiety difficulties and any associated

challenging behaviours where a calm and positive approach is needed. The Autism Resourced Provision students

access the whole college site for most of their lessons.

Although experience and qualifications

will be an advantage, first and foremost we wish to appoint the right person to

complement our team. The right person

should be enthusiastic, dedicated, have a “can do” attitude and a good sense of

humour is essential!

An induction and training in post and

professional development to support you within your role will be provided.

The College is committed to safeguarding children and

promoting the welfare of young people and expects all staff and volunteers to

share this commitment.

Further

details and support staff application forms are available from the College
