You will make a difference! You will be responsible for enabling our students to learn, promote their independence and help them to achieve.
Valence School is a day and residential school for children and young people aged 4 to 19 with physical disabilities and complex medical needs.

Our students make good progress thanks to the high quality teaching and learning and multi-disciplinary working alongside our teams of nursing, therapy, pastoral and residential staff.
As a Student Support Assistant you will
- support students within the learning and residential environments in order to promote their intellectual, physical, social and emotional development;
- promote a caring environment and provide a high standard of care including washing, toileting, bathing and mealtime assistance;
- ensure that communication with students, staff and other departments is effective and contributes to our high standards of care and personal development for students;
- maintain excellent standards of safety and good practice in relation to safeguarding, health and safety issues, implementing students’ care plans and appropriately using the recording and reporting processes
