The ideal candidate will be driven by a passion for extending potential in our learners, recognising individual qualities and strengths and aspiring to attain excellence in learning support. Please state your experience, skills and strengths clearly in your application. Candidates should have:

• 5 GCSE grades C/4 or above, or equivalent passes, including English and Maths; or Cache Diploma in Childcare, Learning and Development Level 4, or minimum qualification of NVQ L3.
• Experience of working with children in a primary school; including those with additional needs. Experience of working with children with health needs would be beneficial but not essential as full training will be given.
• The ability to be proactive, show initiative and work well within a team with colleagues
• The ability to communicate confidently with staff and parents to ensure a child’s health needs are met
• A positive, professional and flexible outlook, with a belief that the child is at the centre of all we do.
