Can you motivate students to achieve their best? Are you passionate about instilling a ‘Growth Mindset’ and nurturing students to see challenges as opportunities to flourish? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for an inspiring and ambitious Inclusion Support Worker (ISW) to join our skilled and effective team. The successful candidate will have a genuine interest in working with children with additional needs and will be working closely with our students to ensure learning can be accessed.

The successful candidate will hold GCSE A* - C / 9 - 4 or equivalent in English and Maths, have relevant experience of working with students, and will have a sound understanding of how to support and facilitate the learning and progress of students. You will play a pivotal role in helping students overcome barriers to learning, therefore raising the standards of education attainment.

If you are considering a route into teaching, this is a perfect way to gain experience.
