Family Support Worker

Crosshill School is an outward looking, inclusive and successful school for children with special educational needs. It makes up part of Champion Education Trust, a multi academy trust that was formed in October 2019. In September 2024 Champion Education Trust will join Oak Learning Partnership.

 Our mission is to improve the life chances of all of our young people within our supportive family of schools, providing opportunities to allow young people to achieve beyond expectation, regardless of background, need or prior attainment. We are determined and passionate to ensure that all of our staff are supported and trained to make a first class provision for all of our young people.

Champion Education Trust has four key values that embody our ethos:

 Family and community; a sense of belonging and contribution

 Respect and celebration of differences

 Partnerships and working as a team

Ambition and striving to do your best

We are looking to appoint a Family Support Worker to provide focused support to our Children and families, working as part of the pastoral team as an assistant to the designated safeguarding lead. The role will involve working with families and children both at School and in their homes to help increase their wellbeing, skills, confidence and abilities of all family members to live their daily lives in a resilient, safe and positive way.

The postholder will have experience of successfully working with vulnerable young people and understanding their needs. They will need to have the ability to work flexible hours as required and be able to travel to meetings and other sites.

All staff will demonstrate those philosophies which characterise effective schools – a commitment to education, to the needs and rights of all pupils and to the development of the school’s community, with strong, mutually supportive relationships with parents, partner schools and the broader community.

Working hours – 37 hours, 5 days a week, Monday- Thursday 8am -4pm, Friday 8am-3.30pm, term time plus 2 weeks.
