Job description

Location: Rodbaston Campus

Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check, including barred list information, as this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

As part of safer recruitment practices and in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), an online search will be completed for all shortlisted candidates.

All gaps in employment will be explored, and references will be sought prior to interview wherever possible. Only completed application forms will be accepted, CV's cannot be considered.

We uphold rigorous safeguarding procedures throughout recruitment, selection and induction, consistent with the expectations set out in Keeping Children Safe in Education.

Safeguarding training is mandatory for all employees and will form part of your induction and ongoing CPD.

The Learning Support team has a unique and exciting opportunity, to conduct psychometric testing that can provide our learner with SEND, the evidence required for exam access arrangements.

You will be a highly motivated, extremely organised and dedicated individual working closely with teachers and learners to provide inclusive and challenging support strategies that enable our learners with SEND to maximise their full potential.

A strong team player with a real desire to help young people and adults, you will have previous teaching experience and be qualified to conduct access arrangement assessments.

However, the right candidate will be supported to gain a level 7 EAA qualification in the first nine months of your appointment, if you do not hold one already.
