Due to the high needs of the pupil, the team of teaching assistants within the class will rotate in and out of working with the pupil and other 1:1 or small groups throughout the day, this decision has been made by the school as they understand the role would be too tough for one person all day. With this in mind the ability to work independently and as part of a team is key.
Staff must be dedicated and reliable with high levels of resilience and commitment as consistency is key for all children with SEND needs however this is ever more important for individuals with exceptional SEND needs. The successful candidate will be working with an individual with exceptional special needs; whom can display very challenging behaviour.
