Learning Support Assistant
Grade 5 (level 3 qualification/experience)
35 hours per week, term time only, to start ASAP
Manor Green College is an inspirational Generic Special School for 224 students aged 11-19 who have Learning Difficulties and other complex Cognitive, Neurodevelopmental, Social & Emotional, Sensory, Physical and Health needs.
We are seeking to appoint Learning Support Assistant to work 35 hours across 5 days a week. The successful candidates will work across the College as required with students who have either Moderate or Severe Learning Difficulties including students on the Autistic spectrum. This could include working as a one to one supporting specific students with medical/behavioural needs and also as part of a whole class team working to support a range of students. Experience of working with students with SEND in either a mainstream or Special School setting would be preferable, but is not essential. For the right candidate, working with our students is a fulfilling and often inspiring role, so if you have an enthusiastic, open minded and highly motivated personality with a positive outlook, a “can do” attitude, and a strong desire to help children succeed, this could be just what you are looking for.
Our school is led by a dedicated Head Teacher and senior leadership team who are supported by a committed Governing Board and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop within an exciting and creative curriculum and be part of a highly motivated team, which prides itself on its collaborative working practices, and are transforming the lives of our young people.
