Specialist support assistant 1:1

Blackpool (Lancashire)
Spring Recruitment
Support assistant
Posted: 16 February
Offer description

We are advertising two 121 vacancies following successful application for educational health care plans, for children in our school. They each offer an exciting opportunity for colleagues looking to join our school as well as securing a role to make a difference to the lives of our young people.

The roles are advertised for the "child's time at our primary school" or for 'the life of the EHCP'. These roles are therefore fixed term contracts. For the roles advertised we expect, these children with the support recommended, will leave our schools in Year 6 but can't guarantee that. One of the children is in Early Years Foundation Stage, the other in early Key Stage 2.

The two roles advertised require each successful candidate to show a strong knowledge and understanding of the SEN code of practice. They require an understanding of cognition and learning and the need for academic support as well as an understanding of communication and language needs as well as emotional regulation. The two positions advertised are unique to the child, year group and location and if you require further information on the profile of each role.

Both positions require the successful candidate to mix support, engagement and interaction with the child in one to one, small and large group settings, both inside and outside of the classroom. The roles are not simply about focusing on the development of one child, but include care for the wider class group and the whole school community.

Visits to our schools are warmly welcomed to meet our SENDCO and other members of our school SEN team.

Please refer to the application pack for the person specification, job description and further details.
