About the role
We are looking for an enthusiastic 1:1 learning support assistant who has a passion for working with children with SEND.
Ideally, a candidate with experience of children with ASD and/or ADHD is preferred. However, if you are patient, keen to learn and able to work as part of a team, then your application would be warmly welcomed. A caring and nurturing approach to understanding the needs of children is essential.
At Bernards Heath Junior, we pride ourselves in ensuring children are at the heart of everything we do. Our staff are passionate about giving all children every opportunity to thrive. We also understand and know the challenges that many school teams have. As part of our team, we can offer:

- Kind, caring and respectful children who value your work
The post is for full time, 25 hours per week. All of our Teaching Assistants also work as lunchtime supervisors. This role would include up to 5 lunchtime duties (12.20 -1.20). This will be with additional pay for the lunchtimes worked. Part time would be considered for the right applicant.
We require English and Maths qualifications to at least GCSE Grade C or equivalent.
Applications will only be accepted if completed using the approved HCC application form; online is the preferred way to apply. Hard copies of downloaded application forms are also acceptable. CVs will not be considered. Our school is committed to safeguarding children. All post holders are subject to a full Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, satisfactory references and medical clearance.
Early applications are encouraged as the school reserves the right to close the advert should we feel able to appoint an appropriate candidate.
Please ensure that the referee section of the form is completed fully, stating email, phone number, full name, job title, and the name of school or company. You must include your current head teacher if you are currently working in a school. We will only consider applications that reflect a high degree of professionalism in terms of spelling, grammar and presentation.
Please note that this is a full-time position (25 hours) and is paid pro rata. Full-time hours are counted as 37 hours a week; you would be paid a proportion of the full-time salary stated. This is a term time only job and within school hours.
We highly recommend a visit or you may prefer to call the school for an informal chat with the Headteacher or Assistant Headteacher/SENCO. Please contact the school office on 01727 856262 if you would like to discuss the role in more detail and we invite you to view our website.
