We are looking for an inspirational and energetic individual who believes that all benefit from the pursuit of excellence for those students who face the greatest challenges with learning. The desire to make a difference for our students will be seen in your passion, drive and enthusiasm for inclusion.
We are proud to be Wilmslow’s community secondary school and serve a diverse and comprehensive range of students.
This is an exciting opportunity to work within our Progress House Team. For information about this vacancy and others please see Learning Support Opportunities at Wilmslow High School below.
Salary at appointment will depend upon experience. If appointed at the entry-level salary, appropriate training will be offered to support pay progression.
In this job, you will work specifically in our Progress House Provision, supporting students with complex behavioural special educational needs.
The Progress House team helps a large number of students with behavioural needs and Education, Health and Care Plans to be educated in a mainstream setting, with an emphasis on inclusion and growing independence. The work of the team encompasses the whole school and includes students in every year group and subject.
Some students in Progress House may require an alternative curriculum, alongside the mainstream curriculum. The Progress House team delivers bespoke interventions and supports students to access all mainstream lessons. However, at times students may remain in small groups within Progress House, supported by specialist Learning Support Assistants.
You will consider students’ special needs and ensure access to lessons and lesson content through appropriate clarification, explanations, equipment and materials.
You will bring experience of working with young people with complex Special Educational Needs and an understanding of effective approaches to supporting them.
Young people only get one chance at education, so Wilmslow High School is committed to the pursuit of excellence for every student, every day. We are guided by our values and dedicated to serving our students.
We offer a happy and caring environment rooted in our core values, where staff and students can flourish while pursuing excellence for all. The school is set in extensive grounds between Manchester and the Peak District.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to respect this commitment. A consideration of the person’s suitability to work alongside children is part of the selection process.
