About the role
Leavesden JMI School and Nursery is a two-form entry school in North Watford. We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant to join our SEMH team. We currently run three SEMH provisions in which children learn social and emotional skills in small groups to enable them to access increasing provision in their classrooms. The successful candidate will work within a small team and of dedicated staff delivering Thrive based interventions and academic learning planned by the class teachers.
Prospective candidates do not need experience of working with children with SEMH challenges (although this would be beneficial). Most importantly, prospective candidates should have a desire to support challenging children, be able to stay calm when supporting a dysregulated child, and understand that behaviour is a form of communication.
This is a part-time position, Monday to Friday, 28h45m per week, (8.30am - 3.30pm) term-time only. Together with this position is the position of Mid Day Supervisory Assistant at 3h45m per week. This position is fixed term until July 2028.
Visits to the school are encouraged to provide you with a picture of the culture and team ethos we are so proud of. Please email the school office for an appointment [email protected].
We are committed to safeguarding and protecting our children and young people. All posts are subject to a safer recruitment process, which includes enhanced criminal records and barring checks, scrutiny of employment history, robust referencing and other vetting checks. Our safeguarding system is underpinned by a range of policies and procedures, which encourage and promote safe working practice across the school. On joining, you will be required to undergo continuous professional development to maintain safe working practice and to safeguard our children and young people.
If you have not heard from us within 21 days of the closing date, please assume that you have not been short listed on this occasion. We wish to stress that no discourtesy is intended following such a procedure, and you should not let this deter you from future applications.
