Due to our increasing numbers in September, we are looking for Teaching Assistants across our 3 sites initially before moving to our new school building in Offerton.

Lisburne School is an outstanding special school for pupils with severe and complex needs. This post is to join the Teaching Assistant staff within the school supporting pupils with additional learning needs.

Above all, you must be child-centred in your approach and have the enthusiasm, motivation and ability to work with children who may not relate well to conventional teaching methods and to find connections to engage the harder to reach children.

There is a strong emphasis on the nurture and care of our children combined with a significant focus on their emotional and mental health and wellbeing alongside the delivery of our specialist curriculum.

Staff work tirelessly as a team to create a safe, inclusive and fun environment where children can receive the support they need to help them overcome personal barriers and obstacles and to make progress with their learning.

This is a very exciting time for our school as we work across 3 sites before we move to our new purpose-built larger school in Offerton.

The post requires applicants to be able to demonstrate initiative, a desire to become involved in professional development to ensure high quality of provision, a willingness to be flexible and adapt calmly to ever changing situations.

Knowledge of de-escalation strategies and Team Teach, whilst not essential, would be desirable.

Applications from people with experience, Level 3 TA qualification or knowledge of different educational needs would also be desirable but not essential.

Please note if applicants have not heard by the interview date please assume that you have not been shortlisted on this occasion.

Closing date:
Monday 12th June pm

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