Overview
Kettlethorpe High School is a large and popular maintained school in Wakefield, near to the M1 and with excellent links to Sheffield, Leeds and Kirklees. We continue to flourish and are the school of choice within the local area. We are often oversubscribed and are currently planning for a larger cohort entry that will see new capital building work and a potential 11-16 roll of 1,800 pupils.
We’re thrilled to be investing in our SEND provision at Kettlethorpe High School! With a new SENCO joining the team and a recent grant to transform our learning spaces, this is a fantastic time to become part of a forward-thinking department that’s passionate about inclusion and innovation.
Role
We’re looking for enthusiastic and caring Learning Support Assistants to support pupils with a range of needs—including emotional, behavioural, and physical difficulties. This role is perfect for someone who wants to make a real difference in the lives of young people, helping them overcome barriers and thrive in their learning.
Why join us
* Be Part of Something New: Help shape a refreshed SEND environment with improved spaces and resources.
