We are looking to appoint an outstanding individual to join us at Cheadle Hulme School as a Learning and Support Teaching Assistant from September 2024.

Our Learning & Support Department is a caring and supportive environment where students can access the support they need. We help any student who may be experiencing barriers to their learning and work with them to develop strategies that allow them to access the curriculum equally.

We have a Head of Department, a Specialist Support Teacher, 1 full-time and 1 part-time Teaching Assistants in the Senior School. Where appropriate, the Department works closely with outside agencies.

We have a specialist base within the School’s Main Building, where individuals or small groups of students are able to work. Students in the Sixth Form may access the department’s facilities during their study periods, whilst younger students visit on a more peripatetic basis; for instance, they may require a short period of support to overcome a particular aspect of study, or require generalised help with their personal organisation, study and revision skills. Students are able to use the Learning & Support Department at lunchtime and after School.

The post-holder, as part of the Learning and Support Team, is responsible for supporting the teaching and learning of those students in school identified as experiencing barriers to their learning. These students may have identified diagnoses of a special educational need or they may be experiencing a temporary barrier to their learning which is preventing them from working to their full potential. They may also include students for whom English is a second or additional language and students who are following reduced timetables of study.

Dependent on personal circumstances, we can offer a contract of between 15 and 30 hours per week. Please specify your preference with regards to set working hours on your application.
