The Seaton Valley Federation of Schools is committed to delivering high-quality, inclusive education for all students. As part of our ongoing mission to support students with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), we are expanding our dedicated Learning Support Team at Astley Community High School.

You will be committed to ensuring that all students receive the support they need to reach their full potential.

A Teaching Assistant or Special Needs Support qualification is preferred, although we also welcome applications from individuals who are enthusiastic about beginning their career in this field and are keen to develop their skills.

Behaviour across the school is consistently good, with the vast majority of students embracing our core expectations: to be ready, respectful, and safe.
