Rawlins is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Learning Support Assistant to join our flourishing school. This is an exciting opportunity to work with a dedicated team. Experience of working with young people with learning difficulties is desirable. In addition to learning support, the person appointed will provide break and lunchtime supervision.
This is an excellent opportunity to join one of Leicestershire’s largest secondary schools, with over 1500 on roll including more than 300 in our A-Level specific Sixth Form. We are a highly inclusive school having our own Autism and a Moderate Learning Difficulties specialist unit on site alongside our school’s SEND support base. Pupils who attend these units are an integrated part of our school community.
There is a strong sense of community in the school, the village of Quorn and the surrounding areas with a committed and aspirational parent support base. Teamwork and making the most of every opportunity is a key feature of school life. We aim to inspire our pupils to find their talents and their passions through a broad and balanced curriculum; to be curious about learning; to relish a challenge and to have both confidence and resilience. Applications are therefore welcomed from well-qualified and highly motivated individuals who are keen to work with remarkable young people providing an exceptional education for all.
Our core purpose in helping students and staff to flourish is summed up in our vision and values:
