We have a variety of students requiring support, with both physical and non-physical needs. Experience of having supported children and young people previously would be an advantage but is not essential.

Candidates must be able to use their own initiative and be able to communicate confidently and effectively with children, staff and parents. All candidates must have the ability to work within and apply all school policies and it would be advantageous to have some knowledge of the SEN code of Practice.
The successful candidate’s role would be:
- To support in class, across a range of curriculum lessons
- Working 1:1 with students with an EHCP where necessary, leading small groups and interventions under the instruction of staff
- They will be involved in assisting with our Games Club for students, requiring a nurturing environment at unstructured times
- Assisting with/leading after College intervention groups for literacy, numeracy and independent living skills
Candidates must be willing to work as a member of an enthusiastic, proactive and successful team to ensure learners of all abilities achieve their very best. They must possess high standards of numeracy and literacy skills with GCSEs or equivalent in English and maths at Level 4/Grade C as a minimum. Good ICT skills are also desirable.
