We are seeking to appoint a caring and committed SEN Learning Support Assistant to work alongside two KS2 pupils, to cover a LSA maternity post. We pride ourselves on being a friendly and successful school with a hard-working, enthusiastic and supportive team of staff and we are looking to fill this appointment with someone who is equally as passionate about children’s learning. The successful candidate will also need to be a well-educated individual and hold the following:

  • Excellent skills in English and maths.
  • An NVQ at grade 1/2.
  • Experience of working with children with SEN, including speech and learning needs.

The post holder will work 1:1, but may at times be required to support other children in the class. They will need to be pro-active and well-organised with the ability to adapt and prepare resources for use in the classroom setting.

The post holder will also be required to:

  • Engage the pupil in their learning and provide support in completing tasks.
  • Support the pupil in developing effective communication skills.
  • Use strategies to encourage the pupil’s independence.
  • Help the pupil in developing social awareness and forming friendships.
  • Be positive in outlook and flexible and adaptable to the needs of the child and the classroom setting.
  • Take directions from the class teacher but also be willing to use their own initiative.
  • Undertake training as necessary.
  • Work effectively as part of a team.

 

Specific training in relation to supporting these pupils will be provided as needed.

Scotts Primary School is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to undertake a criminal record check via the DBS.

Safeguarding

Havering Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The protection of our pupils from abuse is the responsibility of all staff within our schools, superseding any other considerations. Therefore Havering Schools comply with the Department for Education ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ guidance.

It is an offence to apply for a post which involves engaging in regulated activity relevant to children if you are barred from doing so. Please be advised that, again in line with ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’, shortlisted candidates (who wish to accept an invite to interview) will be required to submit, prior to their interview, a self-declaration of their criminal record or information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. Upon submission of this information, online checks may be carried out.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974; the successful applicant will be expected to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure check. Having a criminal record will not necessarily debar you from obtaining a position with the School.

Equal Opportunities

Havering Schools aim to promote and ensure equality of opportunity and equal treatment for all. We are committed to equal opportunities in employment regardless of gender, marital status, race, colour, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origins, disabilities, age, sexual orientation, responsibility for dependants, religious or political affiliation and trade union activities. All matters related to employment are decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need.
