Job Description:
We are working on behalf of a SEND school in Henbury who are seeking to appoint 2 Learning Support Assistants across their primary site. This is an exciting opportunity to work at a rapidly expanding Special School.
The school has a dedicated team of staff, governors, and parents/carers who are proud to support 80 children and are passionate about their progress, happiness, and care.
Located in Henbury, North of Bristol, the school caters for pupils with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. Pupils who have difficulties with their emotional and social development may have limited social skills and find it difficult to make and sustain healthy relationships.
These difficulties may be displayed through the young person becoming withdrawn or isolated, as well as through challenging, disruptive, or disturbing behaviour. SEMH can manifest as difficulties relating to problems of mood (anxiety or depression), problems of conduct (oppositional defiance and more severe conduct problems including aggression), self-harm, substance abuse, eating disorders, or physical symptoms that are medically unexplained. Some pupils may have recognised disorders such as attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), attachment disorder, or generalised anxiety disorders.
Experience is desirable but not essential; transferable skills from any of the following careers are highly sought after:
* Sports coaching/personal trainers
* Police
* Prison officers
* Nursery/early years educators
Candidates must bring energy, confidence, and enthusiasm with a commitment to inclusion. The school will provide a planned induction within a large, strong, and supportive LSA and teaching team. Under the guidance of the teaching staff, you will provide direct support for the learning of individual children or groups of children to achieve defined progression targets. This is an exciting opportunity to join our school in a period of rapid development.
The roles are contract and permanent posts, 7 hours per day, including a 30-minute unpaid lunch break, term time only.
Start Date: As Soon As Possible dependent on notice period and DBS check or September 2024.
All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQs on the Protocol Education website for further details.
All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available at a later date.
