Job description

This is a fixed term position available from as soon as possible at the beginning of the 2026-2027 academic year until 4th June 2027.

You will be working 31 hours and 40 minutes per week during term time. Working hours are Monday and Friday, 8.45am-3.15pm, and Tuesday - Thursday 8.45am-3.45pm

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, highly motivated and passionate about supporting learning and building positive relationships with children with a range of needs, and have the knowledge, skills, abilities and experience to do so.

You will work under the guidance of our SENDCo and teaching staff to implement and oversee agreed learning activities with individual and small groups of students, in or out of the classroom. This may involve assisting in the planning, preparation and delivery of the learning activities, as well as monitoring students, assessing, recording and reporting on achievement, progress and development, under the direction of the class teacher.

You will need to be able to work collaboratively and flexibly and build good relationships with staff and key parents, demonstrating a respectful and caring attitude towards everyone in school.

Experience of working with children in a school environment and having the appropriate literacy and numeracy skills to support students are essential. Any experience of supporting students with emotional and social needs would be an advantage.

This role is ideal for those wanting to further their career in education and who have a desire to secure the best outcomes for our young people with SEND.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join our College. In turn, we are looking for a candidate committed to playing a part in transforming the lives of our young people.

What we can offer you:

At All Saints Catholic College, we aim to create a happy workplace culture through promoting a healthy work/life balance. We do that by providing a package of flexible employee benefits, including:

• An attractive pension scheme for both Teaching and Support staff.
• A high-quality wellbeing package including medical cover, counselling, physiotherapy, fast track medical cover, care service and a 24 hour GP-helpline.
• Care First Advice - a 24/7 information and counselling service.
• We are part of the Cycle to Work scheme. Tax free bikes and safety equipment can be payable by payroll deduction through a partnership with Cyclescheme.
• Free parking

All Saints is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Therefore, we expect all workers, volunteers and employees to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks, including online searches and a satisfactory Enhanced Criminal Record with Barred List check through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

It is an offence to apply for the role if an applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children (where the role involves this type of regulated activity).

A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process.
