We are looking to appoint a Home School Support Worker (including Safeguarding Officer) who will work with children and families who may be experiencing a range of challenges. This person will support and strengthen our already very positive links with parents and provide assistance to families during particularly difficult times. Previous work experience related to health, child protection, social services, mentoring, counselling, and or/working within parenting programmes would clearly be beneficial. The successful candidate will also need to be an enthusiastic, flexible, confident individual with excellent interpersonal and behaviour management skills.
Access to your own transport is essential, as is Business Driving Insurance.
Crownfield Junior is a proactive, supportive, well-resourced primary school, with high expectations of all members of staff and pupils. Our children are the centre of all we do. You will also join us at a very exciting time. We are currently undergoing expansion work and will increase from a 3 form to 4 form entry from September 2020.
The school has also been graded as ‘Good’ in our last 2 Ofsted inspections (most recently in June 2018). They said:
‘The school has a strong culture of care. Pupils are extremely polite and well behaved. In lessons, they are engaged in their learning and listen to one another respectfully.'
If you think that you have the experience, energy, enthusiasm and skills to fit into our continually improving school, applications can be submitted online.
Visits to the school are warmly welcome. Please contact the School Office on 01708 747070 to arrange a tour of the school.
