Vacancies

We are looking for an enthusiastic, friendly individual to join our team here at Appleford School.  You will need to have excellent interpersonal skills, a willingness to listen to young people, be able to see and overcome obstacles and ideally be computer literate (Word, Excel, Outlook).

We are a warm and caring community, where each boarding house is a home from home for the pupils who board with us.

Houseparents share the pastoral responsibility for the well-being of the boarding pupils in the four boarding houses, outside of the school day.   Working under the direction of the Co-Heads of Boarding, they ensure the Houses function in accordance with the Boarding policies and procedures of Appleford School.

Duties involve organising, risk assessing and participating in a wide-range of activities with the boarders that motivate them physically, socially and mentally both indoors and outdoors, utilising our facilities on our 8-acre site and surrounding area and trips further afield.

Your mentoring role and leadership skills will support the boarders with their studies, provide pastoral routine with their bedtimes, promote personal hygiene and self-presentation, encourage independence skills, ensuring boarders are motivated other than by their electronic devices!

You will attend staff meetings, complete National Online Safety and Safeguarding training and attend INSET training days, as well as school events such as Old Applefordians’ Day Summer Fair and Speech Day.

A typical working week will be a mixture of both morning and evening shifts with one evening off per week, and working one weekend in three.

If you have energy, desire and passion, then please apply to.

The Team…

We are currently a team of 4 Speech and Language Therapists. Although we have individual caseloads of pupils, we work closely together in a supportive manner. We regularly access both internal and external clinical supervision and meet on a weekly basis for CPD. We work closely with Head of Learning Support, SENCos, Occupational Therapy, pastoral staff, as well as the wider school community (e.g. academic staff, boarding staff).

The role…

We are a Specialist Independent School based in Shrewton, Wiltshire. Our pupils are aged between 7 and 18 with diagnoses of Dyslexia and associated conditions. We are looking for an enthusiastic, friendly and experienced individual to join our team. We work with pupils across the school to support speech, language and communication development. Many of our pupils have diagnoses of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and/or ADHD. We have access to a variety of assessments and resources to ensure sessions are targeted, useful and enjoyable for our pupils.   We deliver 1:1 sessions, small group sessions and offer in-class support. There are opportunities to join in all aspects of school life, including activity weeks and school trips.

We support senior school pupils with their independence through community visits to nearby towns. We regularly deliver training within the school to support understanding and support offered to pupils with various speech, language and communication needs (SLCNs). We contribute towards annual reviews for pupils on our caseload, and regularly meet with parents and relevant school staff. Sessions are typically funded by Local Authorities through EHCPs.
