We are looking for individuals with a passion for supporting young people to be successful in their learning.

The Short Stay School for Norfolk is a single countywide institution which meets the needs of a diverse cohort of vulnerable young people from 9 physical locations. Most of our young people have been permanently excluded from school and are preparing for an onward transition to a new school or specialist provision.

The Douglas Bader School educates young people between the ages of 5-16 who have a wide range of complex social, emotional and mental health needs.  

Applications are encouraged from people who have: 

•    Experience of and commitment to working in an educational setting.
•    An adaptive, consistent and kind approach to supporting pupils to achieve their best.
•    Good communication skills and the ability to build positive and professional relationships with pupils, parents/carers and multi agencies 
•    Positive behaviour management skills and are prepared to support pupils individually, in groups and whole class settings. 
•    A level of resilience and an exemplary attendance record.
•    A commitment to training- we care about your training and development and offer regular CPD to enhance your professional skills.
•    The attitude of really wanting to make a difference to the lives of our young people 
•    A team player

This is not a traditional teaching assistant role. This would suit candidates with experience of alternative education and/or youth work.  This is an exciting opportunity to join our supportive, dedicated and hardworking team.

Visits to Douglas Bader are encouraged and welcomed or if you would like more information please contact Jill Guy via Jill.guy@sssfn.org.uk
