We are a supportive team with community at the heart of everything we do. Passion, creativity and inspiring a love of learning are celebrated and embraced. Our relentless professional commitment to supporting and empowering students is both valued and rewarded.

We require Learning Support Assistants to provide individual support and personal/pastoral care for students with physical and/or learning disabilities.

It would be desirable for the successful candidates to have the following, however, training will be given:

Knowledge of the needs of students with learning difficulties/physical disabilities

Experience of working with students of secondary school age (preferably in an education setting)

Judged to be a Good School by Ofsted in April 2024, we are a mixed, non-selective 11-18 Foundation secondary school situated in the market town of Aylesbury and ten minutes from the Chiltern Hills - an area of outstanding natural beauty. We are close to Oxford, High Wycombe and Milton Keynes and surrounded by delightful market towns and characterful villages. The students and staff at The Grange School make it a fantastic place to work. Our students are friendly and confident, and we strive to ensure that they achieve the success that they deserve. Together we have created a successful community school, where students learn the skills for success.

We support our staff with a robust staff well-being programme. All staff have access to a wealth of free support resources and materials to ensure they feel supported and happy.

Applications will be considered upon receipt, and interviews can take place at any time. The school reserves the right to close this post at an earlier date should a successful appointment be made.

Further details are available our website. We welcome applications regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or religion. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students; thus, an enhanced DBS disclosure will be required.

The school is committed to ensuring that safeguarding is a top priority and will consider carrying out online searches on shortlisted candidates as part of their due diligence. Online searches solely aim to help identify any incidents or issues that have happened, and are publicly available online, which the school may want to explore with the applicant at interview.
