Support staff in schools
Information for all support staff who work in Dorset schools.
Welcome to the Support Staff section of the Dorset County Council website. Here you will find information intended for all support staff who work in Dorset schools.
By following the links from this page, you will be able to see how the various support roles are described and their associated pay scales. This site also carries information about Dorset LA's current training programme for support staff, as well as providing links to other local training providers. Nationally, education is undergoing significant changes and support staff have an important role to play in many of these developments. To help you gain an understanding of this wider picture, a number of links have been included to relevant national websites.
