Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with their development and learning? Are you keen to develop new skills? Come and join our fantastic Foreland Fields School team.
Our pupils and students have a wide range of needs, including difficulties with communication, learning, physical and sensory development as well as medical and care needs. All pupils and students have either severe or profound learning difficulties and many also have a diagnosis of autism. Classes are needs led and pupils and students follow personalised learning journeys along different curriculum pathways, depending on their individual needs. We have a number of Deaf/Hearing Impaired students across the school who are supported by a Teacher of the Deaf and a team of support staff with BSL qualifications.
Role Overview: Classroom Support Assistants (CSAs) have an important role, supporting pupils with their independence and personal care. Candidates are advised to read the job description and the person specification for this role before applying.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Support pupils with their independence and personal care.
2. Create a nurturing environment for children and young people to thrive.
3. Work with any age group or pathway as needed.
4. Collaborate with a team, including a Teacher of the Deaf and support staff.
Qualifications: We are looking for a team member who is driven to create a nurturing environment. Experience of working with children and young people with profound, severe, and complex needs is preferred but not essential, as we provide a package of induction training for all new staff.
