We are looking for two inclusion support assistants, to start in September 2025 (one initially to cover maternity leave), for our Jarjums team, who can understand the ways in which behaviour communicates a message and who support children to achieve. We are seeking people who are capable, cheerful, resilient and enthusiastic to work with our children, and who have a particular interest or experience in working with children with SEMH. Anyone joining our school would need to demonstrate a commitment to genuine inclusion.
Every day is different, and every minute adults have to be prepared and able to start again – no two days or hours are ever the same!
Our school values are Respect, Honesty, Kindness, Resilience and Inclusiveness, and we work hard to embed these in all aspects of school life.
We are very proud of Jarjums, which is our resourced provision for pupils with Social Emotional and Mental Health difficulties. Our policy is to include these pupils into their mainstream classes as often as possible, supported where necessary by the Jarjums Team. Although prior experience is useful, we are looking for people with the right ‘zest’ for including children, and helping them achieve the best versions of themselves.
We can train you in managing behaviour; help you to develop strategies for supporting social and emotional needs and enable you to deliver programmes of support. We will also offer training in Team Teach. Your role will be to support pupils to access learning within mainstream classes, whilst delivering 1 to 1 interventions at other times of the day.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is looking to gain skills working with children, prior to undertaking a role in child psychology, speech and language, or teaching. We are also looking for people who would like to be well-equipped adaptable support staff.
The roles will be for a Grade B or Grade C post, dependent on experience and ability to fulfil the person specification. Hours are part time and up to 30 hours. Hours are 8:30-3:00 Monday to Friday Applications from people looking to job share would be welcomed.
