An exciting opportunity has arisen for the Orchard School to appoint SEN Midday Supervisor Assistants. We are looking for exceptional candidates to join our team, who have a passion for supporting children with special educational needs.

As a SEN Midday Supervisor Assistant, you will be responsible for supervising the children during the lunch period at The Orchard School from Monday to Fridays. Your main duties will include assisting with the partaking of food, engaging and encouraging play activities, and assisting with the children's hygiene requirements, which may include toileting and laundry tasks.

To ensure the best fit for this role, shortlisted candidates will be required to attend the school for a short pre-assessment with the children at lunchtime. This will help us determine your suitability for the role and allow you to experience firsthand the environment in which you will be working. The pre-assessment will take place on Friday 10th January 2025 from 11.30am to 1.30pm.

The applicant will need to possess:

• High standards of written and spoken English
• This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) and therefore the ability to speak fluent and spoken English is an essential requirement for the role.

At The Orchard School, we strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment for our students with special educational needs. We are seeking individuals who are dedicated, compassionate, and have a genuine interest in making a positive impact on the lives of these children.

If you are passionate about supporting children with special educational needs and believe you have the necessary skills and qualities to excel in this role, we would love to hear from you. Please submit your application as soon as possible, as interviews will be held shortly after the pre-assessment.
