Rotherham Aspire is a Pupil Referral Unit who puts 'Building Positive Relationships' at the heart of our provision. We pride ourselves in creating opportunities for all of our students. Some of our students are permanently excluded or at risk of permanent exclusion from mainstream school and others are referred to us through a partnership arrangement.

We are seeking to appoint a highly skilled and experienced staff member to our team to work in small groups, one to one situations and to offer support in all aspects of the School's provision. The successful candidate will need to be:

A real team player, flexible and adaptable and a genuine all-rounder. Resilient to be able to work positively with young people who present with challenging behaviours. Able to support and promote learning with students who are encountering disruption to their education. Able to recognise the full range of barriers our young people encounter and promote learning. Engaging, sensitive and capable of building trusting relationships with vulnerable children and young people.


We have numerous sites around the Borough and all staff may be required to work at any location within our centres.

Prospective candidates are welcome to discuss the post/make a visit to the school by telephoning 01709 710144.
