Main Purpose of the Role

Working within Perth & Kinross Council is more than a job, it's about being part of an organisation that puts people at the heart of all we do and provides opportunities to make a real difference by enhancing every life we touch.

We currently have the following opportunity:

Enhanced Pupil Support Assistant, Intensive Support Provision - PKC13967
£18,847 - £20,505 (27.5 Hours per week, Term-time only)
St. John's RC Academy Primary, Perth

We are looking for a motivated and skilled pupil support assistant, who will ideally have current experience in supporting children whose complex social and emotional needs are a barrier to their engagement in learning at St Johns RC Academy Intensive Support Provision (ISP).

As an Enhanced PSA, you will play a pivotal role in the daily lives of our pupils. Your responsibilities will go beyond standard classroom support, focusing on tailored interventions and personal care.

Key Accountabilities:

Direct Pupil Support: Facilitate learning through reading, scribing, and using symbol timetables.
Specialised Care: Carry out intimate care routines, assist with eating/drinking, and perform moving and handling tasks (including CALM interventions).
Physical & Development Programs: Lead individual programmes such as physio exercises, motor skills, and mobility training.
Positive Environment: Implement behaviour management programmes and support Individual Education Plan (IEP) targets.
Technology & Resources: Prepare materials using Boardmaker or TEACCH and support the use of ICT tools like Clicker and sensory programmes.
Community & Transition: Accompany pupils to social events, transition settings, and independent living activities.

Please note, we are currently unable to offer sponsorship for this post.

Skills & Experience Required

Applicants should have:

A warm and nurturing approach with children.
Experience of working with primary aged children in school.
Some understanding of how early childhood trauma can impact on a child’s development.
The ability to form positive relationships with children who are hard to reach and disengaged with learning.
A child-centred approach.
The skills to establish firm boundaries without being rigid.
Some understanding of the importance of play for children of all ages.
The ability to self-regulate during times when children present with distressed and dysregulated behaviour.
Some understanding of restorative approaches to problems arising and the ability to model these for the children.
The ability to work as part of a small team but also have the confidence to work on their own.
A desire to learn and further develop their knowledge and skills.

Working at Perth & Kinross Council

Here's what we can offer you:

6 days public holiday and an additional discretionary day
Eligibility to join our pension scheme
Family friendly and positive work/life balance policies such as Flexible Working, Maternity, Paternity & Adoption leave, time off for volunteering and our Wellbeing Framework

We recognise there can be benefits to flexible working and where individual jobs allow, we seek to support this. You are encouraged to discuss potential options with the recruiting manager, if this is of interest to you. A healthy work life balance is important to us and we provide supportive management and, where possible, flexible working arrangements to help you achieve that balance. You will have access to training and support for continued professional development.
