education Plymouth, England
Job description
The School - at present there are 88 pupils on roll, aged 2 to 19, with a range of complex needs, both physical and with their learning.
Our specially developed curriculums adapt to the changing needs of our young people and this, along with their health and care needs, provides the focus of the day.
Every pupil at the school has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), describing their Special Education Needs (SEN) and the help they will get to meet them.
This is a challenging job that can lead to future roles in a variety of sectors. Some of our EHCA's go on to work in mainstream schools, the NHS or the care sector; many stay with us until retirement.
Role:
- work under the instruction and guidance of teaching, HLTA and medical staff;
- undertake education, care and medical support programmes to enable pupils' access to learning;
- assist the teacher in the management of pupils' support needs and in the organisation and day-to-day running of the classroom.
The job involves:
- mostly working from instructions;
- occasionally making minor decisions involving the use of initiative;
- referring problems to your HLTA, class teacher or manager;
- little close supervision beyond that provided by working arrangements and methods.
