We are seeking to appoint three temporary SEN support assistants, qualified to NVQ Level 3 or the equivalent, to join our team from September 2024, or earlier. These posts are to work primarily one to one, or with small groups of pupils, although some general classroom support may be required.

Wingrove is a large primary school serving a vibrant and diverse population in Newcastle’s west end. We are two-form entry, from Nursery to Year 6 (472 pupils). We have extensive grounds, including a football pitch, MUGA, cycle track, forest school (including round-house and dunny) and allotment. Our school is highly valued and supported by parents and the community. We are a popular school with a lengthy waiting list. Our pupils are well-behaved and happy and are enthusiastic to learn. We can offer you commitment to your own professional development. You will join a team of support staff who work together to improve practice and outcomes for our children.

We are part of the West End Schools’ Trust (WEST). The Trust strengthens the schools’ co-operative work, and encourages collaborative work with identified key partners to further improve standards and enhance opportunities for children, parents, staff and the wider community. It is responsible for the education of around two thousand and seven hundred children and employs over four hundred teachers, teaching assistants and administrative staff.

We are strongly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful applicant will be required to undergo a range of recruitment checks and to obtain an Enhanced Certificate of Disclosure from the DBS.
