Advert

We have a delightful pupil with an Education Health Care Plan, which includes long-term, complex medical needs, who will be moving into Year 5 in September.  She has been superbly supported across the school having started her school life in our pre-school. The key job purpose is to provide day to day management of her tracheostomy, for which full training would be given.  Training would include a period of shadowing her staff currently supporting her and specialist training from the NHS. The school has worked closely with health professionals and parents to write a comprehensive health care plan, including clearly defined roles and responsibilities and emergency procedures. In addition to her two designated teaching assistants, there are other highly trained staff in the class and year group. It is important that she is part of the class, which requires allowing her to be independent and supporting her learning alongside her peers whilst being vigilant to maintaining her airways. 

 She needs someone with:

*a mature attitude

*excellent communication skills, both written and spoken

*a caring and calm nature

*the ability to instil confidence in those around her, especially when working under pressure

*an excellent attendance record

This post is linked to a named pupil attending the school and would end if the pupil leaves Cliftonville Primary School or in the unlikely event that high needs funding is reduced or withdrawn.

We may be able to offer a July start, subject to receipt of satisfactory pre-employment checks.
