This rewarding role involves working on a 1:1 basis with children who are in the process of receiving Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), helping them access learning, develop positive relationships, and thrive in the classroom.
We're looking for someone who is patient, resilient, and passionate about making a difference in the lives of children with additional needs.

What we're looking for:
• Experience supporting children with Autism (ASC) and ADHD.
• Confidence managing challenging behaviour using positive behaviour strategies.
• Previous SEND experience is essential.
• Previous Teaching Assistant experience is preferred; however, candidates with relevant SEND experience from other settings are encouraged to apply.
• A caring, proactive, and flexible approach to supporting young learners.
• An Enhanced Child and Adult DBS registered on the Update Service is essential.

As proud sponsors of the National Autistic Society and other leading SEND organisations, Axcis Education takes its duty of care to the profession seriously. We are committed to matching exceptional education professionals with the schools we support, ensuring the highest standards of care and expertise for both our candidates and our partner schools.

If you're passionate about supporting children with additional needs and want to make a real impact in a reception classroom, we'd love to hear from you.
