An opportunity has arisen within our Support Staff structure for the right candidate to join our Learning Support Team.
We are looking for a caring, understanding and pro-active candidate to support individual visually impaired students to achieve their full academic potential. We place a strong emphasis on implementing carefully defined, personalised strategies and interventions for each student, which enable them to successfully manage their social, emotional and academic development.
The successful candidate will be joining a highly successful and welcoming team, and will be required to possess the excellent communication skills that are needed to develop effective relationships with students and staff.
Essential for this role is a proven track record and confidence in using technology as your daily responsibilities will include modifying students’ work to ensure it meets their visual impairment needs.
