Kingsbrook School is a small specialist independent school for 11-18-year-old students with social, emotional, mental health difficulties and complex learning needs. Kingsbrook School is a unique setting within a small holding, so a love of animals is a must, as an intrinsic part of the role will include large parts of being outdoors and working with our animals as part of our therapy programme for the young people in our care. Experience of working with students with complex needs such as mental health disorders, anxiety and depression is preferrable, as is a good understanding of the emotional and attachment needs of children.
As part of Aspris Children's Services we are immensely proud of the career pathway and training we can offer you. As long as you can demonstrate the values needed for a role, transferable skills and life experience, we will give you all the training and support you need to progress!
The successful candidate will ideally have previous experience supporting in a classroom setting, however this is not required, and we will look at candidates from a variety of backgrounds.
If you want education to be a job for life, Aspris Children's Services will help you get there.
Aspris is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
