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.
