Person specification

Our key concern is to appoint candidates who share our commitment to caring for each child. While our Learning Support Assistants are, in general, highly qualified, evidence of a genuine interest in children is of equal significance.

· enthusiasm for the outdoors and a willingness to take part in learning in all weathers.

· evidence of an interest in further professional development.

· an interest and a willingness to undertake training in the use of ICT (funded by the school) both in relation to the curriculum itself and as part of a broader development of ICT skills within the educational administration of e.g. record keeping, assessment and monitoring.

· Experience of working with children with ADHD, Autism or other specific learning difficulties or the willingness to undertake training

· An Early Years qualification, or willingness to undertake training

In addition to the above, it is essential that the successful candidate should evidence the following qualities:

· a commitment to developing the individual talents and meeting the individual needs of each child within and beyond the curriculum.

· a commitment to the pastoral care of, and respect for, children.

· an ability to communicate with and co-operate with colleagues.

· A resilient and proactive approach to their practice

· A sense of humour

· A warm personality and ability to form relationships quickly with children

· A patient and empathetic approach to working with children who struggle or have experienced trauma

Overall, the successful candidates will wish to play a full part in a thriving and highly caring community.
