St Luke’s is a one form entry school set in the heart of the Redditch community. As a church of England school, we promote Christian values as part of our curriculum. Our ethos, vision and values reflect those of the Local Authority and Diocese of Worcestershire.

Pupils are happy and feel safe because of the kind and nurturing care they receive from staff. Pupils wear smiles on their faces as they walk around school and at playtimes, and they value their friendships.  Parents agree that their children enjoy school and appreciate the support their children receive. Many parents now encourage others in their community to choose this school for their children. Ofsted July 2024

St Luke’s CE First are looking to appoint a Support Assistant to work 1:1 with a child with special educational needs in our Reception class. We are looking for someone who is nurturing, patient, energetic and can work under the direction of the school SENCO and outside agencies, whilst still using their own initiative.

We can offer;

• Happy, motivated children who love to learn
• Supportive staff who thrive on working as a team
• A collaborative community involving the church and other local schools
• A commitment to the continual development and improvement of teaching and learning, through professional development

The school is committed to safeguarding, the PREVENT strategy and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service. A Disqualification Self Declaration Form is to be completed and returned with the application.

Closing date for applicants: 9am Tuesday 8th October 2024

Interview date: Thursday 10th October.

References will be sought prior to interview and any appointments will be subject to references received. As part of safer recruitment procedures, we will also carry out online checks of all short-listed candidates. This contract is linked to a specific child and is therefore on a fixed term contract in the first instance.
