To come home and have a bit of grub!
It's like the bleedin' apprentice! 10 candidates - 1 job, who's going to the final? We even had a task to do ffs!
It's quite funny really seeing everyone eyeing each other up, trying to determine how much exp the other has. I'm up against quite a crowd, the job is for Learning Support Assistant for SEN in Secondary. One was a language therapist who worked in schools and 2 already work in the school and know the staff really well.
We've had a briefing etc and my proper interview is at 2.30.
But I've already had doubts about the Head of Learning Support. Whilst showing us around the school we came to the sports ground where a group of kids were playing tennis. He says; "Now there is one lad there who has severe autism and his LSA is working with him to make him feel included. I'll just point him out to you, look at the lad with the red hair and long sleeved top" So much for confidentiality! How the kids be included if the Head of Learning Support is singling them out as examples? And as he was saying this we were stood beneath the open windows of a classroom full of children.
I really wanted to mention it but he is one of the interviewing panel. I made my thoughts known to the other candidates but I should probably keep my trap shut with him. Not overly impressed however. He then referred to this lad's name throughout the rest of the day.
