Student Support Assistant

4 months ago


Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Royal Grammar School, Newcastle Full time

**STUDENT SUPPORT ASSISTANT**

**Newcastle upon Tyne Royal Grammar School**Required from September 2024

**THE POSITION**

A normal day would include meeting our student at school at around 7.45am and caring for them, within lessons and during some break-times, until the end of the school day. This will include toileting, transfers to and from a standing frame and other elements of personal care. There is some flexibility required, the day will end between 4pm and 4.30pm when our student is collected by parents. The exact finish time of each day will depend on co-curricular clubs.

**THE SCHOOL**

Thomas Horsley, the original settlor of the Royal Grammar School Newcastle (RGS) pledged his legacy to the School in 1525. Almost 500 years later, RGS continues to flourish as the premier independent school in the North East of England and as one of the country's leading schools.

In 2023, RGS was named overall ‘Independent School of the Year’ in The Telegraph Group’s national awards. RGS also consistently tops the region’s academic league tables and was awarded the Sunday Times’ 2024 North East's Top Independent Secondary School, both the overall winner and for Academic Performance. While we pride ourselves on academic excellence, we are just as well known for our high level of pastoral support, involvement in a wide range of sports and other co-curricular activities, and our commitment to bursaries and partnerships.

RGS is fully co-educational with over 1,300 students aged 7-18 years (Years 3 to 13) and our academically selective places are highly coveted. We have more than 250 students in the Junior School, which shares the same outstanding site as the Senior School. Our Sixth Form is one of the largest in the independent sector with more than 340 students.

The school is based in the heart of the City, immediately opposite Jesmond Metro station and our excellent transport links attract students from far and wide. The school occupies over 30 acres of land and has state-of-the-art facilities, including a 25m swimming pool, two Sports Halls, five new art studios, a new library, a new Sixth Form Centre, a Performing Arts Centre with professional-standard theatre, several outdoor football/rugby pitches, an artificial turf pitch and the former County Cricket Ground.

RGS is a special place, known and respected throughout the whole country as well as the North East. It's a place where aspirations are high, results are outstanding, and opportunities are endless. Our students go on to study highly selective courses at the most sought-after universities, but also leave the school realising that life outside the classroom has been equally beneficial.

**THE LEARNING SUPPORT DEPARTMENT**

The department is a small team of four colleagues with a wealth of experience in independent, maintained, special and specialist schools or units. Our aim is to ensure that every student can enjoy success in and out of the classroom, regardless of the barriers they may face. As such, we have recently appointed a Social Communication Skills colleague to help with this area of need. We like to ensure that all needs are met and to help every student feel willing and able to manage the school curriculum and provide individual or group support where needed.

All students, regardless of their needs, should be offered a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum appropriate to their needs, abilities, and aspirations. We work closely with teachers and parents to provide individualised programs which target areas for development, whether it is academic or pastoral. We use a range of evidence-based educational and psychological approaches to help our students, with the student at the heart of decisions about their support.

We work with all ages, from Year 3 to Upper Sixth, and so flexibility, communication, positivity, and good knowledge of SEND and pedagogy is vital. We provide regular training for the school, run a SEND special interest group, as well as supporting other schools and provide training on SEND in the North East.

**SUMMARY OF ROLE**

Our student is a friendly, bright, and determined young lady and this is a highly rewarding role, caring for an individual within the school. There is no home care as part of this role. The role includes all personal care when in school, such as toileting, dressing for games, PE, and swimming, assisting in classroom lessons, and facilitating independence at mealtimes.
- Hoists are used for transfers - full training will be provided.
- Personal care support - training will be provided.
- Supporting access to co-curricular activities during lunchtimes and after school.
- Ensuing reasonable adjustments are in place to support independence in lessons.
- Must be comfortable in a large school environment.

**MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES**

Reporting to the Head of Learning Support, (SENDCO), the Student Support Assistant’s overall responsibilities will include (but are not limited to) th
