FACT Trust is seeking enthusiastic and skilled assistants to support pupils within our Enhanced Learning Provision (ELP), known as The Hive, at Monks Orchard.

The Hive supports children from Reception to Year 6 who have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as their primary diagnosis.

We are looking to appoint creative and dedicated individuals to join our team. Whilst experience of working with children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) is desirable, a passion for making a difference is essential.

ELP Assistants will work across a range of age groups and must be:

• Responsible and dependable
   
• Effective team players
   
• Able to build positive relationships with both pupils and adults
   
• Confident in using their initiative

Monks Orchard Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We are committed to safer recruitment.

Monks Orchard Primary School is part of FACT Trust, a small Croydon-based multi-academy trust with inclusion at its core. We are continually striving to be an inclusive employer and are committed to building a diverse workforce where everyone feels valued, respected and able to thrive.
