York High School are seeking to appoint a Teaching Assistant Level 2. Thank you for expressing an interest in this opportunity at such an exciting time in the development of our School. York High is a mixed 11-16 school serving a genuinely comprehensive intake. We have an absolute commitment to inclusion and making a difference to the life chances of all our students. Our new building and committed team of staff have enabled us to transform the expectations of our young people and their community in the last 10years. This has been reflected in our results which represent excellent progress for our young people in many subjects given their starting points. It is also reflected in the number of families applying for places at our school. We are, however, not complacent. In a changing educational environment and from our own self-evaluation, we know there is much to do.
We are seeking to appoint colleagues who share our sense of excitement and belief in the success of our school and our vision for the future. This includes the expectation of at least good teaching and learning and an environment where colleagues work to the highest standards of professionalism. Our teachers prepare, teach, mark, assess and contribute to the development of our young people in a rigorous, creative and effective way. Our support staff are talented and valued individuals who have the skills and commitment to work alongside teachers and young people in a way that ensures they are contributing to the enhancement of our provision.
The successful candidate must be committed to:
* Ensuring pupil progress and welfare remains at the heart of our work.
* Ensuring pupils with SEN/LDD achieve their potential.
* Communicating effectively with pupils, parents/carers, other colleagues and staff from other agencies in our endeavour to support pupils.
* Establishing good working relationships with all pupils to promote high standards of behaviour and learning.
* Working towards the goals and vision of York High School to ensure its continued success.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We require the successful applicant to undertake an enhanced Criminal Record check via the Disclosure and Barring Service
