Shenstone School is expanding! We are ambitious for all of our amazing staff and students, and we need more people to join us on the next chapter of our journey.
We are looking for a caring, enthusiastic and highly organised person to join Shenstone School as a Health Care Assistant. The successful candidate will work alongside classroom staff, managing the medical needs of the pupils. You must be able to work on your own initiative, have good communication skills, be self/driven and have excellent attention to detail.
We are looking for someone with:
1. Experience of supporting children with medical needs in a school environment.
2. A NCFE CACHE Health Care qualification (or equivalent) would be desirable.
3. Relevant First Aid qualification (or willingness to obtain and maintain this).
4. Willingness to attend/undertake and maintain relevant training.
5. The ability to respond and communicate with children.
If you are looking for a challenge and are able to support and encourage our amazing pupils with SEND to achieve their full potential in our specialist school setting, then we would welcome your application. The achievements of our pupils are extraordinary and will give you a sense of achievement when they make progress, however small.
It is paramount that you feel confident and resilient in working with pupils with challenging behaviour. As individuals, each pupil presents with different abilities and behavioural needs which vary from child to child.
