**Swim Instructor for Hydrotherapy Pool**

An exciting opportunity has opened up to become a Swim instructor at our School. The Swim Instructor will work under the direction and control of the Senior Leadership Team, a Classroom Teacher or Designated Supervisor. In the role you are expected to support the ethos of the school and work supportively with teachers and class based support staff in their responsibility for the development and education process by providing care and supervision to primary age children who have special educational needs, by utilising a good standard of practical knowledge and skills.

The role will involve a range of activities including hydrotherapy pool/swimming support, classroom support, 1-1 or small group working, supporting with specialist interventions, and lunchtime supervision / support.

Chellow Heights school is a large special school which is located on two separate sites. Both sites offer exceptional learning environments for our pupils which enhance their learning and quality of life experiences. These include an outstanding outdoor provision, multi-sensory rooms, soft play, food technology rooms and our ‘engine’ rooms which are used to support our pupils with their sensory processing.

Our West Site is the larger provision and in addition to the resources highlighted above, also boasts a multi-sensory hydrotherapy pool, rebound therapy room, music therapy room and jungle gym (soft play room).

Our South Site is a much smaller provision in terms of the size of building yet capitalises brilliantly on the large outdoor space available.

Our mission statement ‘ Enjoy, achieve, excel, excite, one vision, one community, new heights ’encapsulates our purpose. We believe that children learn best when they are having fun and enjoy what they do. Although located on two separate sites (South & West), we are very much one community with one vision to provide a personalised education to our pupils.
