Mitcham, United Kingdom Witherslack Group Full time

**Those Huge Small Victories**

Our support assistants are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. There’s lots of ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories and whilst they may seem small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference

**Get out what you put in**

As an early years support assistant, you’ll be working directly with young people between the ages of 5 and 13 with special educational needs including ADHD, autism, speech, language & communication difficulties and social & emotional difficulties. You will have the opportunity to support their learning, assist with their social development and help prepare them to be able to contribute to their communities. Lavender Lodge School aims to teach the whole child so the work will be varied and challenging, however with the right training and preparation you will see the reward in the successes that you see.

**One of the best environments in SEND**

Lavender Lodge school resides within an 18th Century building in the heart of Mitcham. Our pupils come from many different boroughs to attend our school and are lucky to experience ‘a life changing love of learning.’ We are proud of our pupils and our dedicated team and pupils leave us with a sense of achievement. We were recently recognised as Good by Ofsted.

Skill set requirements
- Must have worked with pupils who are autistic and have previous experience of this
- Needs to be able to communicate in a variety of ways as 70% of our pupils are non-verbal e.g. can use Makaton, picture display symbols - we use PEC’s and PODD, have experience working with non -verbal pupils
- Have worked with pupils who display challenging behaviour but would have the will and desire to support pupils to manage their behaviour and also for you to work to understand the function of the behaviour
- Be flexible to work with pupils from 4 through to 11 years old
- Be able to think outside the box in regards to delivering lessons. We have lots of tools to help support this, but our pupils need a bespoke and accessible curriculum
- Have an awareness of autism strategies such as TEACCH, attention autism and use of PODD and be able to use these in practise

We know you’re going to do great things. For your hard work and commitment, we reward you with the best salary and benefits package in the education sector. With us, you’ll get to bring learning to life and make a genuine difference to the lives of our young people - plus you’ll get:

- **Wellbeing**:a host of wellbeing tools and advice including employee assistance

- Contributory pension (matched up to 5%)

**Bring your whole-self to work**
Our young people come from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds and with different needs - and our workforce reflects that diversity, so that our teams can engage, encourage and inspire our young people to be themselves. You’ll be able to connect with our pupils because of:

- Your ‘can do’ attitude - a team player who rolls up their sleeves to help others
- Your willingness to undertake the relevant training and qualifications
- Your genuine passion for supporting children learn and the impact it can have on their lives
- Your enthusiasm and expertise to support the teacher and work closely with our therapists
