We are recruiting for a full time Family Support Lead at Brindishe Green School, a Lewisham Local Authority Primary School, starting in January 2022.
Brindishe Green is a community school where learning together is seen as a very important part of the education that we offer. We are a very friendly team, working in a highly supportive environment where individual differences are welcome and teamwork is highly valued. The school is arranged on three floors with our youngest children on the ground floor. Though the building might look traditional, we use it in a modern way. Each class uses their own classroom and a range of shared areas outside this environment depending on the curriculum area or the type of learning in which they are involved. You might imagine this creates a lot of noise as children move around our large building. In fact, it doesn’t – Brindishe Green is a very quiet and calm school. Children learn in a calm and considerate way and behave responsibly.
Our flexible approach encourages a feeling of commitment and belonging in our children and their families. Everyone is encouraged to see themselves as part of the whole school, they get to know all members of staff and all members of staff know them. Teaching and support staff work closely together sharing responsibility for making a very organised and educationally stimulating environment, ensuring that resources are well looked after and available. They help all children to behave well and become successful learners.
Structure and organisation are important to us and we have clear procedures and policies for every aspect of school life. These are agreed by staff and governors in consultation with parents and carers and are applied carefully to ensure that Brindishe Green children achieve high standards, are well-supported in their learning and develop a strong sense of community and good citizenship.
At Brindishe Green we are looking for applicants who have experience of working with primary school aged children and their families. We are looking for a well-educated, flexible and confident person who is looking for a role in which they can make a real difference to the lives of our children and their families.
