Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with their development and learning? Are you keen to develop new skills? Come and join our fantastic Foreland Fields School team.
Our pupils and students have a wide range of needs, including difficulties with communication, learning, physical and sensory development as well as medical and care needs. All pupils and students have either severe or profound learning difficulties and many also have a diagnosis of autism. Classes are needs led and pupils and students follow personalised learning journeys along different curriculum pathways, depending on their individual needs. We have a number of Deaf/Hearing Impaired students across the school who are supported by a Teacher of the Deaf and a team of support staff with BSL qualifications.
This is a physically demanding role, supporting students with personal care, eating and drinking and supervising play. Candidates are advised to read the job description and the person specification for this role, before applying.
We are a growing school and we are looking for team members who are driven to create a nurturing environment where our children and young people can thrive. We would be particularly interested in applicants who have experience of working with children and young people with profound, severe and complex needs, but this is not essential as we provide a package of induction training for all new staff.
Although current vacancies are likely to be based on this site, Classroom Assistants are appointed to the whole school and may be required to work with any age group or pathway, so that we can meet the complex needs of our pupils and students. This includes working within our satellite classes at Garlinge Primary School, Hartsdown Academy and East Kent College.
Candidates are welcome to contact Sarah Thorp (Deputy Headteacher) during school hours by telephone (01843 863891) if they would like to learn more about this exciting opportunity.
Suitable candidates will be shortlisted & invited to interview as we receive applications. Therefore the advert may close before the registered date. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
