Student Support Assistant

We seek to appoint from January 2025, a caring, thoughtful, and professional Student Support Assistant to support a 12 year old student in Year 7. Whilst the role is unique, you will be joining a very close team of staff here at RGS. A normal day would include meeting our student at school at around 7.45am and caring for them, within lessons and during some break-times, until the end of the school day. This will include toileting, transfers to and from a standing frame and other elements of personal care. The day will end between 4pm and 4.30pm when our student is collected by their parents. The exact finish time of each day will depend on co-curricular clubs, therefore some flexibility is required,

Hours: Minimum of 3 days/22.5 hours per week, term time only. This is flexible, and we may be able to offer up to 5 days/37.5 hour per week. Set hours are to be determined but repeating shifts will be worked between the hours of 7.45am until 4.30pm to support the needs of the student. The earliest start time would be 7.45am and the latest finish time would be 4.30pm (working 7.5 hours on each working day within this window).

Salary: IRO £24k gross per annum (full-time equivalent), pro rata IRO £11k gross per annum (based on 22.5 hours per week). We have an excellent benefits package - please see the full job information pack for more details.
