Are you passionate about supporting the wider family so that children can reach their full potential? Come and join Ayresome where communication between the school and families is highly valued and at the forefront of our practice. As noted in our last inspection report: “A very high proportion of pupils join the school partway through their primary education. Leaders prioritise working with parents and carers to minimise the impact of this disruption on pupils’ learning” (Ofsted May 2023).
We wish to appoint a highly motivated, enthusiastic and committed Family Support Worker. This position is to commence as soon as possible.
The successful candidate will have experience of working with pupils and parents/carers, together with experience of working with multi agencies to support the needs of the individual or group of pupils.
The successful candidate will also have knowledge and understanding of how to remove barriers to learning and improve attendance and also be an effective role model for pupils by demonstrating positive values, attitudes and behaviour expected from pupils.
Candidates should be suitably qualified and experienced and be able to meet the criteria detailed on the person specification.
Candidates must only apply using the application form provided; CVs will not be accepted.
Ayresome Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As such the successful candidate will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS check.
