All staff require particular skills to enable them to work in school (eg, looking after pupils), as well as specific sets of skills vital to carrying out their own roles (eg, school secretaries must be able to prepare letters on a computer).
This section sets out the different skills required by different groups of school staff.
Core skills apply to all staff in schools.
Staff working in administrative roles (eg, administrators,
receptionists, PAs, library assistants or finance officers)
need a specific set of skills to be able to do their jobs.
Staff working as technicians (eg, science
technicians) or site staff (eg, caretakers) need specific
sets of skills to be able to do their jobs.
Staff who work with pupils (eg, teaching assistants, cover
supervisors, learning mentors) need a specific set of
skills to be able to do their jobs.
