Maze Recruitment Group have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, skilled and highly motivated Inclusion Support Worker.

We are looking for applications from candidates who have current experience of developing provision and practice in supporting pupils with additional SEND needs, including children with cognition and learning, communication and interaction and/or pupils with sensory and complex SEND needs.

We would particularly welcome applications from candidates with experience in supporting the development of pupil's language and communication skills including the delivery of speech and language plans.

Working under the direction of the Senior Leader for inclusion and class teachers, you will be accountable for the impact of provision, putting the child at the heart of your practice. You will support pupils accessing learning in the classroom and also lead the personalised provision of individual pupils in line with their SEND support plans; facilitating individual and group work; alongside developing strong working partnerships with colleagues, parents and other agencies. You will be responsive to children's individual needs, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability. This may include being a child's keyworker and/or supporting the provision of a group of learners or whole class support across the primary age range. As an inclusion worker, you will also play a significant role in driving the school's inclusion agenda, for example, engaging and re-engaging children in school including children who face multiple barriers in engaging in school and facilitating personalised provision for learners. Supporting and nurturing parental links is fundamental to this role and it would be expected that you work towards achieving expectations as outlined in the SEND code of practice 2014.

We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate:
● a professional, committed, conscientious and hard-working approach.
● a genuine desire and passion to improve outcomes for the pupils, recognising that the position of Inclusion Support Worker is integral to the work of the inclusion team in achieving this.
● an understanding of how children learn most effectively, including those with special educational needs in cognition and learning, communication and interaction and/or pupils with sensory and complex SEND needs.
● experience of successfully improving outcomes for SEND learners.
● experience of contributing to and role modelling practice and approaches that supports all learners to access inclusive classrooms.
● the ability to follow direction from others but also use their initiative.
● experience (or the desire to develop skills) in intensive interaction strategies such as PECs.
● the confidence to challenge behaviours in a caring and patient manner.
● the ability to engage and build positive and professional relationships with parents and carers.
● a commitment to high standards of behaviour, engagement in learning and pupil achievement and progress.
● excellent literacy, numeracy and communication skills.
