Learning Support Assistant with the ability to operate a small school library

We are looking for a highly motivated and energetic LSA to work in school who can also manage a small school library on a day to day basis, to join our dedicated inclusion team. 

The post is exciting and whilst being based in the library the successful applicant will also deliver intervention strategies to SEND students in small groups or one to one, so that students they work with make positive progress by removing barriers to learning.

The school library is well stocked with books and is equipped to support the students and staff. A knowledge of Accelerated Reader would also be helpful but is not essential.  

The latest Ofsted report (May 2015) evaluated the school to be “Good” across all categories. 

We require applications from candidates who fit our core purpose of improving the life chances for all our students. You will be: 

• An outstanding practitioner
• Highly motivated and innovative
• Able to operate a small school library
• A value driven professional with integrity
• Willing to learn and develop alongside others
• Able to work collaboratively to promote student achievement.

For the right candidate the school will offer: 

• Opportunities to develop your professional practice
• Opportunities to develop your library skills
• A supportive and challenging environment, aspiring for excellence. 

If you feel you are able to fulfil this role, we would like to hear from you. Please send for an application form and further details from the school: telephone 01623 455925 or email admin@kirkbycollege.notts.sch.uk or visit our website.

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. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced criminal record check via the DBS. 

Closing date for applications is 9.00am Friday 31st March 2017.
