Eastfield Primary is a rapidly expanding school for children aged between 5-11 years old, which is situated close to Wolverhampton City Centre in the East Park Ward.

Children in the social care system including Children in Need (CIN), Child Protection (CP) and Early Help Assessments (EHA)

As a minimum, you are required to hold GCSEs in Maths and English at Grade C or equivalent as well as holding at least a Level 3 qualification in education, childcare, social work, social care, counselling or youth work and ideally, you will hold a Paediatric First Aid qualification.
To effectively fulfil this role, you will need experience of working with children within schools, especially those with behaviour issues, ideally have experience of using behaviour trackers and have liaised with parents and families as and when required. It is essential that you have experience of working with multi-agencies with the ability to produce information for, and attend, multi-disciplinary meetings involving EHAs, CIN, CP and LAC.
Knowledge of SEN and EHCPs is essential as well as the issues affecting families and parenting needs of children. A large part of this role will involve the ability to score, record, evaluate and feedback outcome measures so experience of doing similar is required.

These sessions include delivering circle time, nurture sessions, anger management sessions and relaxation to specific pupils on a daily or weekly basis dependent on their individual identified need. One of the main focuses within this role will be to work with pupils on a 1:1 basis and in small groups both within and outside of the classroom environment.
