We are looking to appoint enthusiastic LSAs to provide support for learning activities by children on an individual or group basis in our Primary department. Experience of working with Deaf or hard of hearing children and young people is advantageous, but not essential.
Elmfield is a maintained Bristol special school for pupils aged 3-16 years which serves the Bristol and wider region. We have been consistently judged as 'Good' by Ofsted. Ofsted recognises that we are 'ambitious for pupils' and 'aspirational in our outlook'. Pupils have deafness as a primary need, some with additional Special Educational Needs, and we provide a Bilingual Deaf Education where BSL and English are used. Experience working with children with a range of additional needs will be an advantage.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Able to work effectively as part of a team
- Sensitive to the needs of the children
- Punctual, reliable and committed
- Able to work flexibly and use own initiative
- Friendly, approachable and can work in a calm manner at all times
- Able to provide individual and/or group support
- Able to communicate effectively with children who use either BSL or oral English
- Willing to undertake relevant training to gain necessary qualifications as required
Prospective applicants are welcome to visit the school. Please contact us by telephone on [phone removed] or email [email removed], to arrange a convenient time and date.
Closing date for applications: Monday 23rd November at 9am
Interviews: ASAP
We are committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check is required for all successful applicants.
We do not deal with recruitment agencies. We cannot accept CVs.
We are also interested in hearing from candidates who would like to join our supply list to cover adhoc staff absence.
