Work

What you'll do at work
Rossmore School is a busy and thriving neighbourhood school, situated within the village of Little Sutton. Rossmore School offers a high standard of education within a caring environment, catering for children aged 3-11 years.
As part of this apprenticeship role, you will support and supervise pupils, including those with special educational needs, ensuring their safety, wellbeing, and active engagement in learning. You will provide personal care and wellbeing support when required, always maintaining dignity and respect.
You will build positive, trusting relationships with pupils, helping to promote confidence, independence, and self-esteem. The role involves encouraging participation in a range of activities, supporting learning both individually and in groups, and assisting with the implementation of individual support plans. You will also support the safe use of specialist equipment where necessary.
In addition, you will promote inclusion within the learning environment, monitor and provide feedback on pupil progress, and contribute to their overall development. When trained, you will administer basic first aid and respond appropriately to wellbeing needs.
