We are looking for Teaching Assistants to join our professional team in providing a supportive environment for pupils who have special needs in accessing the curriculum and to assist in the development and implementation of Educational Health Care Plans.
You will be working under the instruction/guidance of the SENDCo, Assistant SENDCo and the HLTA’s to undertake work/care/support programmes, to enable access to learning for all pupils, whatever their level of learning disability. This sometimes can involve personal care.
Ideally, we are looking for those who have experience in working with children with specific needs, but this is desirable and not essential.
Burton Borough is a vibrant and inclusive mixed school of 1210 students, situated on the Shropshire / Staffordshire border within the pleasant market town of Newport. Our location provides easy access to and from Shrewsbury, Stafford, Telford and Wolverhampton.
We are proud to be part of the Learning Community Trust, having joined in April 2024. This partnership places us within a forward-thinking, research-informed network of professionals, where collaboration and continuous improvement are at the heart of everything we do.
The school sits at the heart of the Newport community and aims to ensure that the skills, talents and attributes of all our young people are fostered so they flourish within a caring environment that has high aspirations for all. We believe that all students in our community have the right to the highest standard of education and see ourselves as having a privileged role in ensuring the young people of Newport prosper.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will need to undertake a DBS enhanced clearance for the school.
