We are looking to recruit one Specialist TA2 Teaching Assistant for a Hearing Impaired Pupil (HI), initially on a one-year fixed term contract. This post will be to provide support for a student in KS5 with a hearing impairment.
We are an “outstanding” LA maintained special school catering for children aged 11-19 who all have an EHCP. Our students have a wide range of SEND including MLD, SLD, ASD and other complex needs, physical disabilities, HI, VI and SLCN.
Our ethos is “Start with the young person”. You will be a champion for education as a vehicle to improve the life chances and outcomes for our students. Our vision is “You can do it, we will help” and so you will embody our philosophy of supporting young people to be more “Confident, Resilient and Independent”.
In Year 7, students have a more class-based curriculum with their Year 7 teachers working as a team to deliver the majority of their learning within a “Foundation Year” setting. Year 7 students also access specialist rooms and may be taught by other staff for lessons such as Forest Schools, Art, Music, Dance, PE, Science, ICT, and Design Technology.
Students in Years 8 to 11 then follow a more differentiated curriculum model, according to their needs:-
All students access appropriate external accreditation at the end of KS4, during KS5 and at LifeBridge, and this includes GCSEs, ASDAN, BTEC, Functional Skills and Entry Level Certification, dependent upon student ability.
In KS5, students continue to follow the most suitable curriculum for their ability, and we then offer a Year 14 Transition to post-19 where some students continue on to the “Pathway to Employment” route, and those with more severe learning difficulties and complex needs would usually follow a “Pathway to Independence” route.
We are keen to recruit staff of the highest calibre, and what matters most to us is that you are the “right fit” for our students. We welcome applications from mainstream experience, and those with SEND experience.

Please complete the application form and then outline in your letter of application the skills, experience and expertise that you have that would make you an ideal candidate for this post.

Students in Years 8 to 11 then follow a more differentiated curriculum model, according to their needs:-
- Some follow a more formal curriculum running with a modified mainstream approach
- Some have a little less transition and spend a little more time on the consolidation of basic skills
- Some have particular SLD / ASD / SEMH needs and also benefit from working in smaller groups at times
