Learning Support Assistant - Full-time

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, positive and committed person to join our staff team at Cross Keys Learning in Womenswold (near canterbury).  We are looking for an enthusiastic individual who can relate to students who have struggled within a mainstream setting and need a more nurturing environment by working with them individually and in small groups alongside the classroom teacher. 

Applicants must be able to work collaboratively and have some prior experience of working with children or young adults.  Experience of working with young people with SEN would be an advantage, but not essential as training will be provided.

Key Purpose of the Job  

• Be part of the whole school team working to promote the best possible outcomes for our students in terms of their wellbeing, academic and personal development.
• Support students with special educational needs in lessons with their academic development and learning behaviours.
• Deliver interventions to students on a 1:1 and small group basis
• Assist with the setting and reviewing of targets for students based on their individual need.
• Support teaching staff with lesson delivery and planning by adapting resources as required.

As a small school with a strong nurturing focus the key asset of our staff is the understanding of each individual pupil's educational need and working together as a team to deliver the best outcomes for our students.

We will consider applications for part-time hours.

Early applications will be considered for interview as soon as they are submitted.

Cross Keys Learning are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect ALL staff to share this commitment.
