Role: Teaching assistant within the additionally resourced provision for children with Complex Communication and Interaction needs
Start Date: January 2027 or as soon as possible
We are part of Leeds Diocesan Learning Trust
Leeds Diocesan Learning Trust (LDLT) was founded in September 2022 with the aim of bringing together schools sharing our vision of full flourishing through loving, living and learning together.
The Trust has grown rapidly to 14 schools. Our schools are in Craven, Leeds and Ripon, all within the Primary phase. The Trust will seek to grow in these three specific geographies over the next five years.
LDLT schools maintain their unique character whilst benefitting from strong and dynamic collaboration across the schools in the Trust.
LDLT is explicitly Church of England in its articulation, yet fully inclusive.
A rare opportunity has arisen for a teaching assistant within our Additionally Resourced Provision. Our successful Church of England School is looking for a passionate, reflective practitioner who has a positive attitude to join our well-established provision team. The provision caters for a group of children with complex communication and interaction needs from Reception to KS2.
As a key professional for the resourced provision for communication and interaction needs, the post holder will work with pupils on an individual basis and within groups both in the resourced provision and when the pupils join their mainstream peers. The successful candidate will also work in partnership with parents/carers and families as well as other professionals in order to maximise outcomes for pupils.
Our team benefit from tailored support, targeted professional development opportunities and the chance to work in a friendly and collaborative learning community. Leaders in school take a ‘common sense’ approach to workload and work alongside staff to ensure that everything we do has an impact on pupils’ progress. We encourage staff to be reflective, risk-taking and be at the leading edge of research and innovation in order to secure the best outcomes for children.
In January 2024, our SIAMS inspection reported that 'In 'doing everything in love' Windmill C of E Primary School is transforming lives.
The headteacher demonstrates a passionate commitment to supporting the mental health and
wellbeing of staff. The staff team live out the vision in the way they support one another when facing
times of personal challenge. This support is transformational. Staff flourish as a result of the significant investment in their professional development.
This is an exciting opportunity for the right person to join a dedicated, friendly and supportive team who are very reflective and live out our school vision of ‘do everything in love’. The successful candidate will work under the guidance and with the support of the Teacher in Charge of provision to provide a nurturing learning environment that supports our pupils to thrive.
Our school is well placed for applicants from across West Yorkshire, we are situated very close to Junction 27 of the M62, close to Birstall retail park.
