Studio West is an exciting studio school, which opened in September 2014. As part of Northern Leaders Trust, Studio West cater for around 550 students aged between 11 and 19 with student numbers increasing year on year. We are expected to reach 650 at full capacity. Rated “Good” by Ofsted, Studio West offers students an innovative and bespoke curriculum with an emphasis on employability and life skills. We have close working relationships with our business partners and our mission is to make sure that every student who leaves Studio West, does so with a university place, an apprenticeship or employment.

We are seeking applicants for some new roles to the school to work with individual students or small groups with a wide range of special educational needs. Working with our SEND Co-ordinator, Learning Coaches and Personal Coaches, the role involves delivering interventions and in-class support to help students access their lessons and embed their learning.

We are looking for candidates either with previous experience working with children and/or young people, preferably within an education setting, with a minimum of a level 2 qualification (GCSE) in English and Mathematics, or those with the minimum qualification level with an interest in starting a career in education. Previous experience working with children with special educational needs or social, emotional and mental health issues would be advantage, but is not essential as full training will be provided.

If you have the skills, commitment and enthusiasm to succeed in this role, we want to hear from you. In return we can offer you,

• Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme

• Salary sacrifice schemes including leased car scheme, cycle to work and childcare voucher schemes

• Free on-site parking

• Free gym access at Kenton School
