The East Specialist Inclusive Learning Centre (SILC) is a 2-19 generic special school with 424 pupils on roll. All our pupils have special learning needs and some have physical/ medical difficulties. The East SILC is a complex organisation which operates on a variety of sites to provide a range of outreach services across the city, including partnerships with primary and secondary providers, the city-wide Physical Difficulties and Medical Service including a moving and handling service, as well as the Medical Needs Teaching Service for Leeds.
Do you want to join a team making a difference to children and young people’s lives?
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our expanding school community.
Due to further planned expansion, an opportunity has arisen for permanent full time Level 1 teaching assistants to work at the East SILC and could be based at the main John Jamieson school or any of our sites across the East SILC. The majority of our pupils have learning difficulties, and some have physical difficulties.
We require skilled, enthusiastic people who are willing to learn, support teaching and learning and address the personal needs of our pupils. You will need to be flexible and adaptable, a good communicator, cheerful, calm and be able to work as part of our team.
The permanent posts are subject to a 6 month probationary period, to start as soon as possible.
The East SILC has a progressive staffing structure in place for teaching assistants which is supported by Continual Professional Development. A thorough induction process is in place.
We are holding an open afternoon for any candidates who are considering applying for the role. This will be an opportunity for you to visit the SILC, learn more about the whole school and have a tour of the site. This will take place on Friday 30th June at 10.00am at John Jamieson Hollin Hill Drive, Leeds LS8 2PW.
Please call East SILC John Jamieson to book your place. We look forward to welcoming you.
