Amble, United Kingdom JAMES CALVERT SPENCE COLLEGE Full time

**Learning Support Partner**

32.5 hours per week (term time plus 5 days), permanent

Band 3: £17,810 - £18,108

As a result of specific learning needs identified within pupil cohorts, we require additional Learning Support Partners (LSPs) to join our friendly and supportive Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) team to start as soon as possible.

Main duties include working in classrooms to support individual, or small groups of pupils in reaching their specific social, emotional or academic targets.

Often referred to as Teaching Assistant or Learning Support Assistant, at JCSC we recognise the vital and valued work undertaken, and have named the role ‘Learning Support Partner’, which we believe more accurately reflects the direct impact your work will have on our pupils, their learning and their futures.

Typical work includes:

- 1 to 1 or small group support for pupils in class
- Delivery of intervention programmes to individual pupils or small groups
- Supporting with setting and reviewing targets and updating pupil passports

In return, this rewarding position offers good prospects for in-school development and progression - former LSPs have moved on to Pastoral Support Officer and Assistant SENCO roles within JCSC - and also offers practical experience for anyone considering a career in teaching. Our LSPs benefit from participation in weekly staff CPD alongside teaching staff and benefit from the guidance of the county’s lead SENCO, who also happens to be Head of School and SENCO here at JCSC. Training is provided on a range of SEND and whole school related topics such as safeguarding and literacy, as well as specific SEND needs.

Experience working within education is welcome but not essential - it is more important that you are an empathetic individual who is passionate about education and helping pupils to overcome barriers to learning. If you can support, motivate and inspire our pupils to get the most out of their time at JCSC, we want to hear from you

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. It is essential that all staff and volunteers share this commitment. You can view our policy for Safeguarding and Child protection here. An enhanced criminal records check from the Disclosure and Barring Service is required for all posts.
