Job Introduction
We are looking to appoint a Learning Support Practitioner specialising in Dyslexia to join our dynamic and dedicated SEND team.
As part of this role you will be:
- Supporting students in class with a focus on those students who come under your specialism
- Involved in planning and running interventions for students with Dyslexia that may be 1:1 or small group sessions.
- Liaising with staff, parents, and students to ensure that our Dyslexic students are reaching their full potential.
- Developing good relationships with students and being a keyworker for some students with more complex needs
- Learning and developing effective strategies for supporting our Dyslexic students, with a willingness to share these with other members of staff where appropriate.
- Developing your own professional career in SEND through professional development opportunities.
You will need:
- Good levels of numeracy and literacy are required (GCSE or equivalent in English and Maths).
- A positive and resilient attitude
- Good communication skills and the ability to adapt your communication style depending on the student’s needs.
- The ability to work as a part of a team.
- Flexibility in your approach to working with students, with an understanding that every student has their own individual needs.
Specialist qualifications are not essential, as it is more important for the successful candidate to show empathy, resilience, initiative, dedication to our students, and a good sense of humour. Training and guidance will be provided.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a successful secondary school 'where pupils are happy, and proud of their achievements’ [Ofsted 2023]. This is a post that could suit a candidate interested in a teaching career.
The successful candidate will:
• Be committed to comprehensive education
• Have students at the heart of what drives their decision making
