The Avenue Special Needs School is a vibrant and friendly school which supports more than 250 pupils, aged between 3-19, with a range of severe or profound learning difficulties, some physical disabilities and autism. We have small well-resourced classes and a real passion for supporting young people to have active and healthy lives through an exciting education both in and out of the classroom.

It is a great place to work with friendly colleagues, an excellent work life balance and good terms and conditions of employment. Working at The Avenue provides you with the opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people with special educational needs.

We are looking for staff who care deeply for the children in their care and who want the best for them.

We have full time vacancies as well as part time job share vacancies offering either two or three days per week. Hours for all vacancies are 8.30 am to 3.15 pm with no flexibility to vary these hours.

Support Assistants work as part of a team providing care and learning experiences for our pupils encouraging them to develop to the best of their potential. You will be based in one class and will help pupils with their learning, go out in the community and manage behaviour.

We are looking for people who are caring, playful, patient and pro-active with a good sense of humour and who are willing to join a team where we all do a bit of everything. Successful candidates need to be physically fit.

Previous experience of working with children and young people with SEN is an advantage but not essential as full training will be provided.

To apply, please visit the vacancy page of our website and fill in the forms that you’ll find in the Support Assistant recruitment section.
