The Coopers’ Company and Coborn School is a dynamic, co-educational school.
Inspired by our historic tradition of 'Love as Brethren', we strive to be outstanding in everything we do; producing young people who have the confidence, qualifications, experience and aspiration to be successful in the 21st Century world.
We are looking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant to join the SEN department to work with students who have special educational needs and disabilities.
The ideal person will have experience of undertaking duties throughout the school day for secondary school students with additional learning needs; ensure confidentiality with regard to sensitive issues that arise and contribute to the continuing development of the SEN team and the support they provide.
You should have a genuine interest in the welfare and education of young people; any particular interest in literacy, dyslexia, speech and language or autism would be advantageous but not essential as being an interested, patient and kind individual underlies the success of working with children. Experience of working with students in a secondary school environment is preferable.
We enjoy a fine reputation for the quality of our pastoral care and extra-curricular provision and are committed to the professional development of all our staff, as well as innovative teaching and learning strategies.
The school is a short walk from Upminster station where Overground and Underground services are available; these connect to central London (Fenchurch Street), Romford and all District Line destinations. The school is also a short drive from the M25, A12 and A13.
Interested parties are invited to contact Rachna Carron, Assistant Headteacher and SENCO for an informal discussion about the post at rca@cooperscoborn.co.uk
Application forms can be downloaded from our website at www.cooperscoborn.org.uk.
Completed application forms should be returned to Mrs Samantha Durrell, Human Resources via email recruitment@cooperscoborn.co.uk
The successful candidate is required to complete a six-month probationary period.
Closing date for the receipt of applications is Wednesday 24th April 2024 at Noon
Interviews will be held shortly afterwards
CVs AND APPLICATIONS FROM RECRUITMENT AGENCIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
The Coopers’ Company and Coborn School values diversity 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 candidate’s appointment will be subject to the receipt of a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure (via the Disclosure & Barring Service) and Pre-employment checks
The school reserves the right to interview suitable candidates before the closing date, if the situation arises.
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.

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.
