Castleford Academy is an 11-19 over subscribed, successful mixed comprehensive of over 1,500 pupils offering a rich and deep curriculum. We are firmly committed to establishing first class standards and are proud of our achievements. Our expectations are high and this is reflected in our very successful academic record. The Academy was inspected in October 2019 and was judged ‘Outstanding’.

Leaders challenge and support all stakeholders to achieve outstanding outcomes for all pupils across the MAT. We value and develop our staff by attracting and retaining high quality teachers, supporting them to achieve their best and create opportunities for professional growth and development.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a hardworking, enthusiastic individual to join our SEN team to ensure all pupils have access to learning and make outstanding progress.

You will support the SENCO to implement the necessary support and intervention strategies to all target pupils. You will be responsible for supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs in school, enabling them to achieve/exceed appropriate academic results.

This role requires you to be flexible, adaptable and be able to show compassion and empathy whilst remaining assertive.

**You will**:

- Provide support for individual pupils or groups of pupils with special educational needs.
- Provide one to one assistance for pupils with physical disabilities.
- Provide supervision and care where necessary.
- Provide support to enable pupils to access the curriculum.
- Work with pupils in a variety of settings including whole class, small groups and individually.
- Report to the teacher any pupil problems or behavioral difficulties in line with academy policy.
- Report to the teacher or line manager on pupil progress and achievements.

**You will be/have**:

- Experience of working with young adults aged 11-16.
- 5 GCSE’s at grades A*-C including Maths and English.
- Good standard of education, especially in numeracy and literacy (or willingness to work towards).
- Experience of working with or caring for young adults with special educational needs.
- Good negotiation, communication and interpersonal skills with staff and pupils.
- The ability to relate well to young adults with special educational needs.

As part of our team at Castleford Academy Trust, whether a teacher or support staff employee, you are automatically enrolled into an occupational pension scheme from the start date of your employment (Local Government Pension Scheme for Support Staff and Teachers’ Pension Scheme for teachers). Both schemes provide three times salary life assurance cover for your peace of mind and future planning. You will also have access to a comprehensive package of wellbeing support designed exclusively for schools, providing access to a team of in-house wellbeing experts, counsellors, nurses and physiotherapists.

Castleford Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. For all positions at Castleford Academy you are required to complete a Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced check prior to appointment.
