Broomfield SILC is a generic special school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with 3 sites: our main site and 2 partnership sites at Windmill Primary and Rodillian Secondary. The SILC is based in the South of Leeds and caters for a wide range of needs from moderate learning difficulties; severe learning difficulties; complex and multiple learning needs; Autism and social and emotional and mental health needs. Some students have additional needs – physical; medical; speech and language; visual, hearing or sensory impairment. We are a very popular choice for parents and carers and currently have pupils on roll.
Broomfield secured a ‘Good’ Ofsted in March where inspectors commented that leaders have ‘high ambitions’ and ‘high aspirations for all pupils’ and that ‘staff are proud to work in our school’. I am very proud of our school community where staff are committed to supporting young people to fulfil their potential and prepare them fully for their future, particularly focusing on communication, independence, and emotional regulation.
We are exciting to share that our school is going to be rebuilt and will open to an additional young people in September. We are currently in the process of designing and planning the internal and external areas to ensure we will have an environment that fully supports the needs of our learners and our school community.
We wish to appoint a Supervisory Assistant who want to make a real difference to the lives of our pupils to inspire a desire for learning, to maintain our high standards and make a significant impact on the life chances of our pupils.
The successful candidate will excel in meeting the diverse needs of our pupils. You will be supported within your class by a Teacher and Learning Support Assistants who have a secure understanding of the rewards and challenges in our school. Our staff are passionate about developing the learning and life chances and opportunities of our pupils and young people
