Ofsted Inspection July 2023
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the school to work in our SEND Unit. The Governing Body are eager to appoint an enthusiastic Learning Assistant to support children with social communication needs within the SEND unit.
The Learning Assistant will work primarily in the provision but will also be expected to support pupils to integrate into mainstream classes when needed. The successful applicant will be expected to work across the primary age range.
We ask that interested applicants are:
- Committed to our school values of Nurture, Respect, Learning, Community, Excellence and Excitement;
- Able to demonstrate experience of working with children with ASD;
- Committed to high standards of achievement and behaviour;
- Highly motivated and enthusiastic;
- Able to work in a team but also show initiative to work independently;
- Committed to Continued Professional Development and able to inspire and motivate others.
Our school offers:
- A new provision within which to work;
- Enthusiastic children;
- A well-resourced environment and a strong commitment to School Improvement;
- A firm commitment to the Continuing Professional Development of all staff;
- Friendly and supportive working environment, with opportunities to progress in your career.
We consider this to be an exciting opportunity for any applicant looking to develop and who wish to work in a supportive and inclusive environment where commitment to development of the whole child is paramount.
If you are interested we would love to hear from you. You can find out more about us at our school website - https://www.clockhouseprimaryschool.co.uk/, but do come and meet our children and staff.

Please apply online.
Closing date for applications: Friday 18th July 2025
Early applications are both welcomed and advised. The school reserves the right to interview prior to the deadline date and close the vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role.
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 OpportunitiesHavering 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.
