We are a very successful 11-16 mixed comprehensive school with approximately 1640 students on roll. We are a popular first choice of school for families in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire and are a very successful school academically.

Kelvin Hall School is looking to appoint to our successful Teaching Assistant/Cover Team. This role will primarily support a range of students with Special Educational Needs, in order to enable their progress. This will mainly involve; preparing and delivering learning activities to support:

• Individual pupils with additional needs including SEN.
• Groups of pupils with additional needs including SEN.
• Groups of pupils with additional needs in whole classes including SEN.

This role may, however, require at times the effective cover of lessons in the absence of classroom teachers as part of the SEN/Cover team.

We are looking for colleagues who believe in building strong relationships with students and are willing to go the extra mile to support them in being successful in school.
