The Opportunity

An opportunity has arisen for a caring and dedicated individual to provide support to our students with additional support needs. This will include facilitating positive learning and assisting in the development of confidence and social and communication skills.

How you will make an impact

As a key member of our team, you will work closely with teachers to ensure activities and programmes are delivered to meet the individual needs of our students to ensure that they meet their full potential. In addition, you will assist at our daily breakfast club (7.30am – 8.30am).

What you need to succeed

You will have a knowledge and understanding of additional support needs and strategies and have the ability to use a variety of resources to respond creatively to learners needs. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential as is a patient empathetic approach. A relevant qualification in a related discipline e.g. NC/NVQ I Childcare, Teaching Assistant or Special Education would be an advantage.

St Aloysius' College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
