William Gilbert is an exceptional Church of England Primary School, where differences between people are nurtured and valued. Our school community is committed to providing high quality education and holistic development for every child. We are proud of our supportive and collaborative culture, which enables both staff and pupils to flourish.
We are located in the large village of Duffield, five miles north of Derby, in the picturesque world heritage site of the Derwent Valley with the Peak District on our doorstep.
The Governors are wishing to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated, compassionate and skilled special educational needs teaching & learning assistant to join our Early Years team on a fixed term basis to deliver personalised provision under the guidance of the class teacher and outside agency input.
Our vision for excellence, is a safe and healthy learning environment where everyone is happy, excited, challenged and inspired to be a lifelong learner. We aim to do this within the context of a warm, welcoming, Christian ethos where our children further develop strong moral values.
We have a strong, collaborative team, wonderful and enthusiastic children, supportive parents and Governors and a strong surrounding community all striving towards our vision of ‘Through Faith, Hope and Love we learn together’.
Experience of working with SEND pupils, including those with physical and sensory needs, and programmes to develop children’s social, emotional and communication skills is essential.
The successful candidate will work under the guidance and support of the SENDCO, Department Leader and class teacher within our friendly team.
The staff at William Gilbert are a committed and collegial school team, who are well supported by the Senior School Leaders and Governors. Throughout the school we have the pleasure of engaged children – who demonstrate excellent learning attitudes – and families, who are committed to working in partnership with us.
