Walsall, Walsall, United Kingdom The Mercian Trust Full time

Aldridge School - An Academy is a successful converter academy with a good track record of results at both GCSE and A Level. Our most recent Ofsted inspection (February 2017) rated us as Good in all areas. This is an excellent opportunity for inspired, committed and enthusiastic people to join a thriving department in this popular and successful school. Our motto 'Achieving Excellence Together' is at the heart of our work.

You will be required to support pupils with a variety of needs and therefore should have an interest in supporting students with special educational needs. This may involve working with less able pupils or those who need help to reach their potential at a higher level. Enthusiasm, the ability to work in a team and the commitment to raising pupil achievement and removing barriers to pupils' learning are essential. A GCSE qualification in English/Mathematics would be an advantage as would a teaching assistant qualification.

About the SEN Department

Staff

The student development team is led by the SENCO. We have 7 Higher Level Teaching Assistants/Senior Learning Support Assistants, 1 SEN Behaviour and Learning Practitioner 15 Learning Support Assistants and an Assistant SENCO. The team work well together to provide effective support for students. Our aim is to remove barriers to students' learning so that all students can achieve their potential.

The Student Development Department

The team work with students who have special educational needs across all year groups. This consists of support in the classroom, as well as 1-1 support or small group support outside of the classroom. The teaching assistants use a range of data to analyse students' progress and to target interventions to meet the students' needs.

The department offers a range of interventions to support students' academic and social, emotional and communication needs. Interventions include programmes such as Lego Therapy, Pragmatics, Rapid Reading and Nessy . These interventions are delivered by support staff at various times throughout the day, including before and after school.

The team also work closely with parents/ carers, as well external agencies. Support staff play an important role in supporting students with some of the most complex needs and promoting their inclusion within the school community.

Aldridge School - An Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment. The post is subject to enhanced DBS and safeguarding checks.
