Your responsibilities may include:
• Delivering small group interventions in literacy, numeracy, and social development
• Supporting pupils with a range of SEND, including autism, ADHD, speech and language needs, and learning difficulties
• Encouraging engagement, confidence, and independence
• Working alongside teachers to monitor pupil progress
• Promoting positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing
• Helping to create a calm, inclusive, and supportive learning environment
