3 x 35 hr term time only position available

The children’s continuing care team are looking for motivated and dynamic support staff to work alongside the school nurse and provide 1-1 care for children with complex health needs, within the school setting.

Your working day will start at the child’s own home, where you will be responsible for escorting them to school, on school transport. Once at school you will be expected to manage and carry out any health interventions that the child may require, there is a school nurse on site at all times for assistance if needed. In addition to this you will be expected to support the child to access their educational curriculum helping them to fulfil their potential.

You will be required to hold a driving licence and have access to a vehicle.

The post holder will either be responsible for the one to one care and support of an individual child or will assist the Special Needs School Nurse with generic tasks for all children and young people in school.

Depending on the role, the post holder will start their day at the school base or at an identified child’s own home. You will be expected to escort the child into school on school transport and remain with them throughout the school day providing specialised 1-1 support in the classroom. The working day will finish once the post holder has escorted the child back home on school transport.

The children will have complex health needs, and require bespoke and individualised plans of care.

Robust training and regular competency reviews will ensure care is provided safely and in line with all policies and guidelines.

Enable the children to achieve set targets and goals, and also make the school day enjoyable whilst maintaining safety at all times.

An ideal applicant will have significant experience in looking after children and preferably children with additional or complex needs, you must be willing and able to learn new skills. You will be joining a growing team of Support Workers and will have every opportunity to learn and be supported in gaining experience and knowledge in caring for these children.
