Ofsted, February 2023
Northfield School is a large 11-16 community school and specialist sports college. We are an ambitious and inclusive school with state-of-the-art facilities and interactive technology in a well-resourced newly refurbished main building, a newly built separate Year 7 school, and extensive sports facilities shared with the community.
Following an inspection in February 2023, Ofsted judged the school to be good in all areas. This is a great time to join the school and a fantastic opportunity for the right colleague.
We are looking to appoint a positive, flexible, proactive and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant. The successful candidate will be a patient and caring individual who can provide effective enhanced support to pupils working out of our Additionally Resourced Provision (ARP) which supports pupils with sensory loss Visual Impairment (VI) or Hearing Impairment (HI) and pupils with Communication and Interaction (C&I) needs. The ARP supports pupils with identified Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to access mainstream education with a strong emphasis on developing pupil confidence and promoting independent learning. Experience of working with young people with sensory loss and/or C&I needs including an ability to communicate using braille would be an advantage; however is not a requirement for the role.
We can offer you:
- an enthusiastic, talented and supportive team
- superbly resourced ARP support areas
- excellent opportunities for CPD
- a staff health and well being programme
- a warm, friendly and positive working environment where everyone is valued
