North East Derbyshire Support Centre is seeking flexible, committed, enthusiastic and highly skilled Specialist Teaching and Learning Assistants, to deliver off -site English, Maths and PSHRE sessions to a caseload of pupils from either the High Peak or Chesterfield areas.
The academy provides statutory education to children who are at risk of, or have been, permanently excluded. Pupils who attend the academy have challenging and often complex needs, and exhibit behaviours that prevent them from attending a mainstream school.
The successful candidates will inspire, motivate, and support pupils to reach their full potential, by providing education at off-site venues or pupil’s home. We are developing a variety of bespoke learning pathways to meet the needs of our pupils. This role is to ensure that all pupils receive an education even if they are not school site or group ready.
Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with disaffected pupils in KS3 and 4 in a school or other alternative setting. An affinity for pupils with behaviour, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You will be working in pupil’s homes and so must be able to build relationships with families and other external agencies. This post will involve lone working.
The role will be based from either the High Peak or Hasland site and mileage claims are included in this role. There may also be travel to our other academy sites for meetings, Inset and CPD. You are required to have daily access to transport with business use included on your insurance. You may be required to transport pupils in your own car.
Benefits include: LGPS Pension Scheme, Westfield Health membership, academy laptop and mobile phone.
