About the role
At the heart of St. Luke’s is a strong values system, which promotes diversity and inclusion in its actions and not just in words. It is a creative and innovative school, which aims to give each member of its community a voice in its development and growth. Through in-house research and professional development through coaching, it seeks to empower staff and children to shape the curriculum, the teaching and learning approaches and the environment. We continually aim to see the school experience through the eyes of the children and to challenge ‘received wisdom’ in relation to education. We aim to stay true to what we believe in, whatever the pressures from outside. We very much welcome new members of staff who will add to the diversity of ideas and dialogue around teaching and learning and enrich our learning community.
We offer a career development structure which builds on your strengths and passions and gives you the freedom to enquire and take risks.
We wish to recruit to a temporary INA position.
We require an INA for a child in one of our Year 3 classes with complex ASC.
We are looking for an INA who is patient, friendly and supportive. Experience of supporting children with ASC would be an advantage.

There will be opportunities for professional development.
You will report directly to the SENDCO and work closely with the class teacher and outside agencies.
If you are interested in applying for this position but would like more information, please ring the school and ask to talk to the SENDCO, Kate Murtagh. Visits are most welcome and can be organised via our administrator, Lisa Miller.
