This full time, ongoing learning support assistant role is for an all-male class of KS3 and KS4 students. The setting is based in Wandsworth, South London and has practical transport links, plus parking.
This alternative provision supports students who come to them at various points of their secondary schooling, usually because of their previous school placement having broken down, whether through ill-health, behaviour issues or other difficulties, leaving them frequently feeling less than positive about themselves and their life chances. The provision has a proven track record either to support the children to return to regular schooling or by completing year 11 with them.
The successful Learning Support Assistant should:
*Have the drive to dramatically improve the life chances of students, whose previous experience of schools has, for whatever reasons, not been a wholly positive experience
*Accelerate the upward trajectory of rapid improvement and complete the schools onward journey from their recent Ofsted awarded 'Good' in 'Effectiveness of leadership and management' and 'Personal development, behaviour and welfare' with 'Requires Improvement' in other areas (2019) to Outstanding
*Be able to provide evidence of successful experiences from working with pupils in a PRU/Alternative Provision/SEMH background
*Be familiar with Keystage 3 and 4 curriculum
The education and care provided to the students at the school is continually improving, giving young people quality access to an education regardless of the starting point. The correct learning support assistant will have a mission to support getting the children back on track, either through a return to regular schooling or in to further education at college.
