Norton Canes, United Kingdom Staffordshire County Council Full time

Job Introduction
We are looking to appoint a part time (13 hours, 2 days a week - Thursday and Friday) Communication Support Worker to join the Autism Inclusion Team **based at Norton Canes High School**, as soon as possible. Experience of working with Autistic young people in an education setting is essential.

You will work alongside the Specialist Teacher and other Communication Support Workers located at Norton Canes High School Resource base.

Main Responsibilities
- To provide direct support to pupils within the Resource, including delivery of elements of coursework provided by the school staff.
- To support pupils from the Resource in mainstream lessons and transitions throughout the school.
- To assist in developing the Resource and creating an autism friendly environment.
- To support school staff to understand the nature of autism and the possible social and educational implications for the pupils and their peers, through training and discussion.

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and committed Communication Support Worker, who will work within Norton Canes High School Autism Resource base to support a high quality, inclusive educational experience for Autistic children/young people.

Although this role is based within Norton Canes High School, there might be incidences of cover support required around the county and the need to transport of students to events, so this post is designated as a casual car user. Applicants must be able to drive, have a driving licence and have daily access to a car. However, for disabled applicants, reasonable adjustments will be made where required.

For more details or an informal chat please contact:
Rob Sigley, Resource base co-ordinator - Autism Inclusion Team

Closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024

Interview date: Tuesday 16th April 2024

Start date: Monday 20th May 2024
