We are seeking to appoint a Health Needs Designated Teaching Assistant to support an individual pupil with a respiratory condition. The person recruited will work as part of a class team at Bettridge School. The new Teaching Assistant will be given full training for the specific health needs of the individual child. Their priority will be to co-ordinate with the rest of the team to provide 1:1 care for the individual child’s health needs. They will also be involved in supporting the teaching and learning of the individual child and other children in the class. The working hours are 30 hours per week, 8.45am-3.15pm with half an hour unpaid lunch. These hours are based on funding specifically to provide individual critical health care for a pupil through his/her EHCP. This will be reviewed regularly, and at the end of the academic year should the pupil leave or medical needs change, the role will cease at the end of the relevant school term, with a minimum of four working weeks notice (Fixed term Contract to cover Maternity Leave).
We are looking for staff who are resilient and flexible and have the ability to work as part of a team to promote a love of learning for all our young people across all ages, abilities and needs within the school.
Applications must be on the Bettridge School Application Form (CVs are not accepted), to be received by MIDDAY on the closing date. There will be an opportunity to have a tour of the school. Please email bettridgevacancies@bettridge.gloucs.sch.uk to register your interest.
