Are you passionate about giving every student access to an excellent education?
We are looking to appoint a Learning and Therapeutic Partner to support children with social, emotional, and mental health needs. You will be working in a small class under the supervision of a teacher and also on a one-to-one basis. A key part of the role will be to assist the teaching in creating and maintaining a purposeful, orderly, and supportive learning environment for all pupils, particularly helping to overcome multi-barriers to learning, social, emotional, and behavior difficulties, and to support children with specific needs, for example, sensory and/or physical impairment, cognitive or learning difficulties, behavioral, emotional, and social development needs, communication, and interaction difficulties.
This is a Monday to Friday role with the following shift pattern: Monday 8.30 am - 4.30 pm (includes staff meeting); Tuesday - Thursday 8.30 am - 3.30 pm; Friday 8.30 am - 3.00 pm.
The ideal candidate will actively enjoy working with children, have empathy, and be sympathetic to their needs. You will have knowledge of S.E.M.H. and be able to use appropriate programs such as Team Teach (approved de-escalation and intervention technique).
The Ridge is a very special learning community. We provide a 'fresh start' for children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health problems (SEMH). The curriculum is designed to support children in becoming confident and independent learners in a rapidly changing world.
