Are you looking for a new challenge from September 2019? Do you feel like you have the right attitude and commitment to make a difference in a school? Then you may be in luck! A large client school in the Preston area, are currently looking to appoint a temporary member of staff for the full academic year.

Hard working and committed to supporting children with a variety of learning needs

Academic background with a good command of written and spoken language

The school is located in the heart of Preston and the majority of children who arrive tend to be from a mixture of social backgrounds. The school is larger than average and with this, their Pupil Premium Funding and the SEN funding they receive; the school has a number of support staff employed through Teaching Personnel who are constantly reviewed and continued in their roles from term to term. This role will be exactly the same. The funding for the child will come through the local authority and be reviewed on a termly basis. With this, you will be given sufficient notice if the funding is stopped. If the funding does stop, there are always other children requiring support in school and the SENCO has said they would be able to offer further work.

The working hours for this position are from 8:30-15:30 with 45 minutes unpaid lunch. This role will be split across the Year 1 and Year 2 Classes.
