It’s for a special school that I’m very familiar with , children from age 3-19 with some sort of additional need .
I’ve some training that is relevant, two years studying towards being a speech therapist, plus three years experience in NHS and years of personal experience as a carer . Familiar with supporting individuals with autism, Down’s syndrome, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, learning difficulties (what we called PMLD at work), brain injuries and other rarer syndromes too . No up to date certificates in M&H etc but happy to do refreshers if I need to . Have done v basic child protection via nhs but through uni have done whole modules on GIRFEC, wellbeing indicators etc .
I’ve stuck my qualifications in a folder, old job paperwork (P45), ID etc . I’ve written out on my iPad a list of all previous work experience, placements for uni, training, and a list of achievements at work, and at home .
I can’t think of what they will ask though other than child protection - the job description wasn’t very detailed unfortunately although I can guess what’s involved ... I’m worried I’m going to go in and my mind will go blank . I’ve not had an interview for a job in a few years and fluffed up previous ones . Very anxious !
