The Vacancy
Riverview Federation is firmly established as leading the way for inclusive practice. We want every child to feel safe, successful and cared for in our schools and to do that we know we must be creative and flexible in creating unique environments where children thrive.
We already have highly successful provisions such as our Discover Groups, Attendance Hub and Headway and this year we have created equally respected newer provisions, with Pathways for year 7-8, and the Stepping Stones SRP for KS1. These provisions all understand the needs of every child and provide them with the conditions they need to be happy and proud of their success. Our KS1 SRP opened in April 2025, and is already recognised as a successful flagship provision by the Local Authority and we are also viewed as inclusive leaders across the region, helping to shape national and regional change.
Building on this success, we are now looking to the next phase of our project, opening our KS2 SRP provision, also on the Castledyke site. The post we are currently advertising will be based primarily in the new KS2 provision, with opportunities to also support in KS1, when appropriate.
All our provisions are successful because of the outstanding staff team, who are committed to working with young people with additional needs and have the expertise, skills and knowledge to really make a difference. We know that getting the right people makes all the difference for children and their families.
Therefore, we are seeking a teaching assistant with a passion and commitment to working with autistic children, who will work as a key member of the SRP KS2 team. The role will focus on supporting autistic pupils to make progress in their personalised outcomes, aiming for these pupils to access mainstream schooling, when appropriate. Ideally, the successful candidate will have experience of supporting children with additional needs, particularly autism, and will be able to adapt their practice appropriately to meet a range of cognition and learning, social and emotional, and communication and interaction needs. Experience of both the KS2 curriculum and the delivery of communication and interaction and SEMH interventions, would further support this role.
The successful candidate should be ambitious for themselves as well as for our children and be committed to developing their SEN knowledge, undertaking a bespoke training programme, which will be on offer for the successful candidate. As the SRP pathway grows, there will also be opportunities for career progression for the right candidate.
If you are inspired by the challenge of this opportunity, we would like to hear from you.
If you would like to discuss any aspect of the post, please feel free to contact the SRP SENCO and KS1 Lead Teacher- Marie Embling at marie.embling@castledykeprimary.co.uk
