Our Learning Support Department supports students who have additional needs around the curriculum. Once a learning need has been identified, we meet with the student and their parents before an assessment by an Educational Psychologist, Specialist Teacher, Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapist, or Vision Therapist.

The Learning Support Department consists of part-time teaching assistants, teaching staff, part-time admin support and the full time SENDCo.

The Learning Support Team are looking for an enthusiastic and flexible Teaching Assistant to join the team, working with the SENDCo and other staff members to ensure effective interventions in Teaching and Learning. The successful candidate will assist the classroom teachers to deliver and enable learning with identified students, and support teaching in the classrooms with a range of year groups and interventions from National Curriculum Years 6 to 11.

The role will also include some out of classroom support around sport/swimming, and lunch time support for students that are experiencing overwhelm during these freer environments. Having additional experience of working with students with ADHD/ASC would be highly beneficial.

Staff at Godolphin can enjoy free on-site parking, complimentary lunch during term-time, free membership to our Leisure Centre, access to Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme, Cycle-to-Work scheme and other work-related benefits.
