Charnwood Leicestershire, United Kingdom Hays Specialist Recruitment - Education Full time

At Woodside we specialise in educating young people with an Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). This is an exciting opportunity to join our expanding team and work in our wonderful school with our exceptional students and staff. Your New Role: We are currently looking to appoint a new Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to join our amazing team at our unique outdoor setting to students aged 11-19 in our growing Leicestershire setting on a full time, permanent basis. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing proactive support in lessons and, where needed, taking instruction from the subject teacher to best progress the academic achievement of the students within the session. We are looking for practitioners who can build trusting relationships our learners, in order to work with them at all levels of emotional difficulty during sessions, downtime and transitions. Outdoor learning is central in our provisions. The appointed candidate will need to be an advocate of outdoor learning, incorporating this into as many lessons as possible. You will also be delivering small group sessions at a base specifically crafted for a small group of students. This "homely" feeling enables us to nurture our students and provide them with the best education experience once we've successfully engaged with them emotionally and you will have a responsibility in supporting pupils in processing new information, which will be built upon a solid understanding of the student's manifestation of autism. Experience: The appointed candidates will have a minimum of 1 years' experience working with children and young people with Autism Spectrum Conditions. Working Hours:

  • Monday - Friday (08:30am-15:30pm)
  • Term Time Only, 190 contact days

About The Woodside Group: The Woodside Group mission is simple. To provide a safe, secure and therapeutic environment, where children with an Autistic Spectrum Condition can find enjoyment and happiness whilst accessing their own individual timetables. We support a range of ASC pupils from the ages of 11-19 and aim that each student reaches their full potential whether it be academic or vocational, and when they leave our provision, aged 19, they have clear pathway into a life, as independent as their abilities allow. We are a growing community with a number of specialist sites located in Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire with plans for expansion in the near future. This is a great opportunity to join a forward thinking and innovative group of schools where two of our provisions have recently been rated OFSTED Outstanding. We know that by putting each individual at the centre of their learning journey, we are able to craft a unique and fulfilling experience for each student that will allow them to independently contribute to society, embrace lifelong learning and achieve without a ceiling.
