We are looking for enthusiastic, engaging, empathetic and resilient candidates on a permanent or casual basis to join our fantastic and dedicated team at Shenstone School. You will be required to work as part of a team, under the direction of the Class Teacher/Cover Supervisor helping and supporting pupils with their emotional, social and cognitive learning.
You will use a variety of different techniques to motivate, engage and encourage the pupils to achieve their greatest possible outcomes. You will also be required to initiate and participate in games/activities, toilet/change where necessary and protect pupils safety and wellbeing.
If you are looking for a challenge and are able to support and encourage our amazing pupils with SEND to achieve their full potential in our specialist school setting, then we would welcome your application. The achievements of our pupils are extraordinary and will give you a sense of achievement when they make progress, however small.
It is paramount that you feel confident and resilient in working with pupils with challenging behaviour. As individuals, each pupil presents with different abilities and behavioural needs which vary from child to child.
Please be aware that although you are normally assigned to one site, you may be asked to work at any of our sites. This ultimately depends on where vacancies occur and operational feasibility.
Please be advised that successful candidates may be required to undertake 3 days staff training (potentially requiring additional hours) within their first 6 weeks of employment. 1 day will be for induction and 2 consecutive days will be for PRICE Training. We also advise that on staff training/inset days (school calendar accessible via the school website) additional hours could also be required so that relevant training is achieved. If relevant, this will be discussed further at interview.
