Morecambe, United Kingdom Outcomes First Group Full time

How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four*?

Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance. We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent).

4DWW will be rolled out within our school, when we have a full complement of staff, and within the next year – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join us #teamOFG

As part of our continued growth, we now have a fantastic opportunity for a 1:1 Learning Support Assistant to join our close-knit team at Crookhey Hall School located in Lancaster.

  • Salary: £20,906.25 per annum (not pro-rata, pre-tax take home salary)
  • Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday 8.30am-4.00pm
  • Contract: Permanent, Term Time Only
  • UK Applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.

After 6 weeks in post, you will qualify for the 4-day working week - work 4 days but get paid for 5 days

Crookhey Hall School is a Social and Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) School which caters for boys and girls aged 10 - 17 years of age. We provide young people with an educational experience that will not only extend their academic and vocational social skills and abilities, but will also promote personal growth and help to build self-esteem. In this way it is hoped that each individual will aspire to achieve their full potential, eventually leaving school with the determination to make a positive contribution to society in the years to come.

Crookhey Hall School has a 15-acre setting in countryside south of Cockerham, near Lancaster. Due to the location, it would be beneficial for candidates to have a driving licence

The aim of the site is to provide enough support to unlock each pupil's potential so they can live fulfilling and productive lives. We provide young people with as much freedom as possible in a safe and supervised environment. This is achievable due to the dedication and support from a range of employed professionals who are passionate, reliable, and understanding
