Learning and Assistant

The Inclusion Faculty at George Spencer Academy is highly regarded. The faculty is based in the Learning and Inclusion centre which opened in 2012. We are looking for staff who want to support in taking the faculty forward and are passionate about making a difference to the lives of young people.

The Learning and Progress Assistant will be a member of a multi‑disciplinary team; the postholder will provide support to students with SEND. This will involve individualised interventions and whole class work in order to support students with their academic and social development.

• Providing general support in classroom management including students’ learning and behaviour
• Providing general care and welfare to students
• Contributing to the overall ethos, work and aims of the school
• Supporting and coordinating provision for students they are allocated as keyworker for.

The nature of the Academy Year requires some of these tasks to be done regularly whilst others will be on an annual cycle.
