Under the direction of the Senior Leader of Inclusion and Wellbeing, the Health Needs TA will offer a range of in-class and/or withdrawal intervention to an individual student to support access to learning and wider school life, to enable them to reach their full potential.
The role is to support a year 7 student with their health needs in a school environment. You will be expected to monitor SATS and levels of fatigue throughout the day, and the successful candidate will need to support the child to go onto a BIPAP ventilator if needed.
The Child has central hypoventilation. This means the child’s breathing must be monitored in the day using a SATS monitor, and visual checks.
The candidate must be confident in working with a child with who has poor respiratory drive and at risk of apnoea events. In addition to this the Child may be at risk of cardiorespiratory arrest and the successful candidate will be required to support and monitor and know what first aid actions to take if required.
This role would work closely and be part of the Inclusion Department. As a school, we can offer you a wonderful staff team, delightful students and the chance to develop your own professional knowledge and expertise through ongoing training opportunities. There will be bespoke training for this role, which will be administered through the NHS, if required.
We are recruiting for a fixed term role initially however this is likely to be extended past the 12 months depending on student requirements. The hours of work will be 8.30 am to 3.20 pm Monday to Friday.
