Wye School SEN Student Support Assistant Post  

Wye School is an oversubscribed, mainstream, non-selective school, with a comprehensive intake, across the whole ability range.  It opened in September 2013 and we now have a full intake of students from Y07 to Y13. We are situated in new purpose-built facilities which overlook an area of outstanding natural beauty.  We have had two ‘good’ Ofsted reports and two years of excellent GCSE results. 

We are now seeking to appoint several SEN Student Support Assistants to start work as the new school year begins in September 2020.  This is a vital role within the school which involves working closely with students and supporting them in their learning within and outside of the classroom.  

To be suitable for this role you will be a positive, responsible and flexible person who is keen to join the creative, dynamic and pro-active group that currently comprise the school's inclusion team.  Wye School is a relatively small secondary school with a correspondingly small staff so it is essential that anyone appointed is adaptable and enjoys working in a supportive team environment.  

What you can offer is always more important to us than your experience, so applications are welcome from anyone with a passion for learning and a genuine commitment to bringing out the best in everyone. However, as part of the inclusion team you will have the opportunity to develop your own specialism rather than just providing general classroom support. 

Salary: 32.5 hours per week (08:30 – 15:30), term-time only, £12,921 pa, pro-rata to full-time equivalent salary of £17,355 pa FTE.    

Applications will be considered on receipt. Suitable candidates will be interviewed on receipt of application and Wye School reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made.
