Hulme Hall Grammar School is a small, independent school, noted for its caring and nurturing ethos where every pupil is celebrated as an individual. At our school, we pride ourselves on our small class sizes, as they allow us to focus on each pupil’s needs, strengths, and aspirations. We believe that recognising the uniqueness of every pupil is crucial, and it forms the very foundation of our educational approach. Hulme Hall Grammar School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The successful candidate will be required to undertake all appropriate safeguarding and employment checks, and the appointment will be subject to satisfactory clearance by the Disclosure and Barring Service. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974.
The Governors are seeking to appoint committed and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistants. The post-holders will be working as part of our Enrichment Team and will support children in the Senior School, working at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 in class and within the Enrichment Department delivering small group intervention lessons. Our successful and ever-growing Enrichment Department provides opportunities for pupils with a wide range of learning differences to make excellent progress, and we encourage all pupils to succeed. Our dedicated team is passionate about providing excellent support, tailored to the individual learning style of each pupil. We prioritise creating a supportive and nurturing environment where each pupil feels valued, seen and understood.
Our Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) have a variety of skills, and we endeavour to make sure that our staff are given high quality professional development to enable them to progress either within our school or beyond. Many of our LSAs have gone on to teach or to take up further positions of responsibility. Opportunities are given in school to develop a wide range of skills which will enhance career progression, for many this has led to a promotion and / or enrolment on to a teaching course. We are a team that recognises the worth of the individual and as such strive to support all pupils to allow them to be successful in every way and achieve their goals and aspirations.
We would welcome applications from enthusiastic candidates who believe in a strong team ethic, have a passion for SEND and inclusion, can set high expectations for themselves and others, are flexible and adaptable and can demonstrate a resilience in ensuring every individual is recognised for their potential.
We encourage applications from those with experience of working with children in an educational setting who wish to further develop their skills and expertise. The successful candidate will report to the Enrichment Department Manager.
