Offer description

Welcome to our school,

Broomfield SILC is a generic special school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with 4 sites: our main site and 3 partnership sites at Windmill Primary, Rodillian Secondary and Future Steps hub (White Rose Business Park). The SILC is based in the South of Leeds and caters for a wide range of needs from moderate learning difficulties; severe learning difficulties; complex and multiple learning needs; Autism and social and emotional and mental health needs. Some students have additional needs – physical; medical; speech and language; visual, hearing or sensory impairment. We are a very popular choice for parents and carers and currently have pupils on roll.


Broomfield secured a ‘Good’ Ofsted in March where inspectors commented that leaders have ‘high ambitions’ and ‘high aspirations for all pupils’ and that ‘staff are proud to work in our school’. I am very proud of our school community where staff are committed to supporting young people to fulfil their potential and prepare them fully for their future, particularly focusing on communication, independence, and emotional regulation.


We are exciting to share that our school is going to be rebuilt and will open to an additional young people in September. We are currently in the process of designing and planning the internal and external areas to ensure we will have an environment that fully supports the needs of our learners and our school community.

We are looking for Learning Support Assistants who have the commitment, passion and resilience to make a difference to young peoples’ lives. Exciting opportunities are available for anyone who is looking for a new challenge in a child focused, supportive environment where relationships are key.

In return you will be provided with comprehensive Continuous Professional Development and will be supported by a professional, knowledgeable and friendly staff team who will ensure you are fully equipped to meet the needs of our diverse learners.

1. Ability to relate well to children and young people

3. Resilience
4. Ability to use initiative
5. Problem solving skills
6. Excellent communication skills

8. Good Maths and English skills
9. Basic IT skills including use of e-mails

13. A comprehensive CPD programme with potential for career development
14. An opportunity to be an integral part of a young person’s journey and a real sense of achievement
