Full Job Description

How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four*?

Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance. We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent).

4DWW will be rolled out within our school, when we have a full complement of staff, and within the next year – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join us #teamOFG!

Job Title:       Learning Support Assistant

Location:        Kestrel House School, Crouch End, London

Salary:            £23,500.00 per annum (not pro rata)

Hours:            36 hours per week, Monday to Friday (8.15am start x 5 days, finish time 4.15, 4.15, 4.00, 3.45, 3.30pm consecutively)

UK Applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.

As part of our continued growth, we now have a fantastic opportunity for Learning Support Assistants to join the amazing team at Kestrel House School in Crouch End, London.

About The Role

This is a great opportunity for a Learning Support Assistant who wants to develop creative learning opportunities for pupils with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure, working with pupils who require extra support with learning, in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.

When it comes to looking after our pupils, we never settle for second best. We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant, able to support and motivate some of our most troubled and reluctant learners. You will work closely with our Teachers, helping us in our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK, to be happy and to make their way in the world.

We want you to encourage everyone to achieve their potential and dream big, despite of any challenges you or they may face.

This will include making sure they are healthy, safe and as comfortable as possible and assisting with the physical, emotional, educational and personal care needs for each individual.
