About the team we are recruiting to
The Education Entitlement Service (EES) strives to deliver outstanding services for our customers, predominately the children of Coventry, who may be requiring access to education or alternative education provision. We ensure vulnerable children are appropriately supported; have a voice, that hopefully leads to their high achievement and excellent progress.

The Ethnic Minority Achievement Service (EMAS) supports newly arrived children in the admission process into Education and monitors Children Missing Education (CME). Officers may make home visits to investigate family circumstances, with special attention given to safeguarding concerns.

Multilingual Assistants work directly with children in both primary and secondary schools providing bilingual support for children who speak English as an Additional Language.

What is the job role?
The Ethnic Minority Achievement Service maintains a casual register of people with good language skills to work as bilingual education assistants in nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools across Coventry and the surrounding area, as well as with other Coventry City Council Departments. You will primarily be supporting newly arrived children to settle into school and begin to learn English.

This is a casual post. We anticipate there being a need for the languages listed, however, we cannot make any guarantee that work will be available.

Interviews are provisionally booked to take place on 27 March 2023 and 28 March 2023, and will be conducted, in-person interviews at our base in Coventry.

This post is exempted under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and as such appointment to this post will be conditional upon the receipt of a satisfactory response to a check of police records via Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

Who are we looking for?
You will need:

- To be fluent in one or more of the languages listed below
- To have a good command of written and spoken English
- To be willing to work in nurseries, primary schools, secondary schools across the city and attend ad hoc meetings
- To be available for at least 4 morning or afternoon sessions a week during normal school opening times?
