Applications are sought from committed Learning Support Assistants with experience of working with students who display Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. We require the successful applicant to support and contribute to the students’ effective learning experience, curriculum planning, safeguarding, EHCP reviews, family relationships, with support from colleagues. This is a truly unique opportunity, to help play a major role in the development of our SEMH learning centre, as a standalone school.
The SHINE Centre educates up to 15 secondary age students, in a bespoke Learning Unit, located within The Winstanley School, but self-contained, with its own dedicated staff. The centre runs as a ‘school within a school’. The SHINE Centre name reflects the values that are already embedded within The Winstanley School – Supporting others, Hard work, Independence, Never giving up, and Excellence.
We have high expectations of all staff within the LiFE Multi Academy Trust, which makes it an exciting and innovative place to work. We understand that this role will require support and encouragement to design what we hope becomes the ‘Blue Print’ for how in-school SEMH resources should be run. Student and staff success is vitally important to us and we will endeavour to provide the environment and leadership conditions to let you do what you do best.
LiFE Multi Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All offers of employment will be subject to a DBS check and an online search.
We particularly welcome applications from under represented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion.
