Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 3:45pm (Term Time Only)
Start Date: September 2026
Are you passionate about supporting children with additional needs? We are recruiting dedicated and resilient 1:1 Support Assistants to join a welcoming all through special school in Sutton.

Your responsibilities will include:
• Providing dedicated one to one support throughout the school day.
• Supporting the pupil during lessons and helping them engage with learning activities.
• Supervising and assisting the pupil when moving around the school.
• Using positive behaviour strategies to manage challenging situations.
• Encouraging communication, emotional regulation, and independence.
• Working closely with teachers, therapists, and other professionals to deliver the best outcomes.
Who We're Looking For
We welcome applications from candidates who have experience working with children or young people with:
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
• Challenging behaviour
• Non verbal communication
You will be patient, resilient, proactive, and able to remain calm under pressure. A genuine passion for supporting pupils with SEND is essential.
