Due to the specific needs of one of one of our children in Reception this year, we are looking to appoint a 1:1 LSA to work with them for 20.33 hrs a week. These hours are stated above, but there is scope to flex these possibly for the successful candidate. Ideally, we are looking for someone with previous LSA experience as well as some EYFS experience, although all applicants will be considered for the post. This post requires the successful candidate to work as 1:1 support for a child who is with us with an EHCP already in place for ASD, so any experience in dealing with ASD will be preferable. This is a fixed term post and will expire when the funding for this child ceases. Learning and teaching is key in what we do here at West Wittering and we create and foster great learning environments and develop positive and supportive relationships with all our young people, as well as their families. Therefore, we are looking to appoint someone who can demonstrate their ability to foster positive working relationships with all stake holders. The successful applicant will be someone with a passion for developing learners, no matter what their academic ability, helping them to feel proud of their learning achievements and enabling them to develop skills of independence and communication and nurture their creativity. Intervention and support is vital in our school and this will be an integral part of the role. The successful candidate will be working both in class under the direction of the class teacher, supporting the learning taking place, as well as will be delivering a personalised curriculum offer in places at other times this could be inside or outside of the classroom. The successful candidates will be expected to respond to the changing environment of a primary school, being pro-active, using their initiative and responding to the needs of the teaching staff and leadership team. They will be open-minded, approachable and hard working. Experience working as a previous 1:1,or experience working with children with ASD is a big advantage but are not a necessity. We are looking for the right person to fit our team, some who Enjoys, Achieves, Aspires to be the best they can be and has a genuine growth mindset. We are a great team here; we work hard and support one another, so you will get all the help you need, but we do want you to be a real team player in return. If you have worked in a school before then you will know that flexibility is an essential skill you need - we need someone who can change plan and redirect their energy as the needs of the children vary day to day. If you are still reading this and you think this sounds interesting then we would love to hear from you. We are truly unique - we have a wonderful school, fabulous swimming pool, amazing community-built playground, we are a beach school and we have staff and children who really care and nurture one another. We encourage you to come and have a look around and see for yourself -please email the office to arrange a visit (office@westwitteringschool.co.uk). The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
