The Wensum Trust is seeking to appoint a committed and enthusiastic colleague to join our team at Hellesdon High School.

As part of The Wensum Trust, we believe that our shared duty is to help every child to develop into high achieving, confident, healthy, caring and resilient members of their family and community. We want our schools to be healthy environments where both children and staff can develop and where strong, positive relationships are key. Our school, therefore, practices a relational approach with children, our families and our communities. We are particularly interested in working with people who share Our Qualities; who will work effectively and flexibly as part of a team.

At Hellesdon High School we are committed to evidence-informed classroom practice and a knowledge rich curriculum in every subject. We believe that empowering students with knowledge is the best way to help all our young people to become creative, well-round, successful life-long learners.

The successful applicant will enjoy working with young people and be confident communicators to both students and parents. We welcome applications from candidates who can bring a real enthusiasm to the school and who will continue to raise the already high standards of achievement.

We are seeking to appoint a colleague to provide in-class 1:1 support for a year 8 boy with physical needs. A confident and enthusiastic person, with a good sense of humour and ICT skills is required. You will be supporting in mainstream classes with students presenting with learning/emotional/physical needs. The role will be pupil specific 1:1 support and will require personal care. There will be an opportunity to be a general classroom assistant for part of the week.

Being a part of The Wensum Trust’s family of schools offers employees unique experiences to work alongside our strategic partners and to collaborate with a wider network of staff. We believe in investing in employees as individuals, by providing training opportunities that help to develop both existing and new skill sets, to encourage career progression at all levels.

We care about bringing together the most able people, to help us achieve our vision of providing a rounded education for children, quality support for their families and opportunities to enrich our communities.
