At Witton Park, our guiding principles are simple yet powerful:
1. Children come first and are at the heart of all we do
2. Positive relationships underpin all of our work
3. High expectations and no barriers – everybody can achieve.
The Hub @ Witton is a curriculum provision which has been recently established for students who need support with SEMH, Speech language and communication needs and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) run by Witton Park Academy.
As a Teaching Assistant within The Hub you will help create exceptional learning environments and support the delivery of an exciting curriculum in a truly therapeutic setting. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with SEMH/ASD experience and a passion for person-centred learning and therapeutic approaches to be involved in a new provision.
You will work closely with the class teacher to support the needs of pupils as individuals or in small groups throughout the day.
You will have excellent people skills and a warm and caring personality. The ability to communicate effectively with pupils, parents and other staff is important. Opportunities for training are available and all staff are encouraged to take up these opportunities.
For the successful candidate, we can offer:
* The opportunity to work with highly experienced, devoted colleagues and students who value the experiences we provide, within a dynamic, creative, therapeutic environment.
* A bespoke package of support and CPD to enable you to grow and develop into who you are aspiring to be - we would train the appointed person in supporting children with the needs identified.
* A caring, positive and inclusive environment.
* Well trained, professional and supportive school leadership.
* Freedom to innovate and an active role in contributing to the shared vision of the school.
If you are interested in joining our friendly and forward-thinking team, and you have the skills and qualities required, then we would be delighted to hear from you.
Please take the time to view our website at Witton Park Academy prior to applying.
