Main Responsibilities:
- Assist the class teacher in delivering planned lessons and activities

- Monitor pupil progress and report observations to teaching staff and SEN professionals
- Uphold the school’s safeguarding policies and promote a safe learning space for all students
You’ll be a key part of a multi-professional team working collaboratively to ensure each pupil reaches their full potential. Flexibility, resilience, and a caring nature are essential.
What We’re Looking For:
We’re seeking someone who is committed to making a difference in the lives of young people with SEN. Ideally, you will have:
- Previous experience in an SEN, care, or school support role
- A good understanding of the needs of pupils with autism and complex learning difficulties
- A calm, consistent, and empathetic approach to supporting behaviour and learning
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- The ability to follow instructions and also use initiative when needed
- A willingness to undertake relevant training, including safeguarding and SEN-specific development
- A recognised Teaching Assistant qualification (e.g. Level 2 or 3) or experience in a specialist setting is desirable, though not essential for the right candidate.
What You Can Expect:
By joining us, you will benefit from:
- A supportive and experienced staff team
