2 x Care Support Workers

At Priory Education we are  proud of our reputation for delivering quality education and care services with positive outcomes for children and young people aged 5 to 25 who have experienced difficulties in their previous education placements.

Unsted Park School provides specialist education for boys and girls aged 7 to 19 with Asperger's Syndrome, higher functioning autism and associated disorders. It's our aim to allow all our young people to thrive effectively within an ever demanding and complex society. Students have ambitions to live and work as self-reliant adults and we can help pupils to reach their goals with continued support, structure and guidance.

Unsted Park Sixth Form is specifically designed to allow young people aged 16 to 19 with Asperger's Syndrome, higher functioning autism and associated learning difficulties to build a post 16 curriculum that is tailored to their individual needs and ambitions.

The focus of the whole school approach is in three core areas: education, independence and integration - based on these core areas we provide individual, child-centred programmes which recognise individual abilities and strengths and help students to reach their full potential.

To commence as soon as possible, we are seeking two enthusiastic and proactive professionals to provide assistance in supporting the effective delivery of education, care and independence programmes for Learners and Young People, ensuring that facilities comply with statutory regulations and quality standards.

Previous experience of working within a special needs environment would be desirable.  It is essential that applicants either have or are prepared to work towards Level 3 Children & Young People’s Workforce Diploma qualification.

The post will suit professional individuals who are prepared to work flexibly in a vibrant, caring and supportive environment.
