· To help and prepare, monitor and maintain a safe and secure learning environment in line with the teacher’s lesson plans.
Our vision statement clearly describes our ‘Journey to Excellence’ and we are ambitious to move from ‘good to outstanding’ in all aspects of our work at the college. Our latest Ofsted inspection in October 2018 highlighted our many strengths and rated us as good in all areas.
We have a very strong commitment to the professional development of all our staff and everyone is supported in continuously developing their own practice.
The successful applicant will have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to build relationships quickly with students, parents/carers and staff.
If you have the drive and energy to make a real difference for our students, and if Ivanhoe College and this role sound like the ideal next step in your career, I hope you will feel encouraged to apply.
