• Monitor and track progress, reporting back to the class teacher and SENDCO as required.
• Encourage inclusion by ensuring children with SEND feel valued, understood, and involved in classroom activities.
• Assist with personal care and other support as needed (depending on the child's needs).
• Work closely with the teacher to maintain a positive, supportive learning environment for all pupils.
The Ideal Candidate:
• Experience of working with children with SEND, either in a school setting or similar environment.
• A caring, patient, and adaptable approach to working with children who may have a range of learning, emotional, or behavioural challenges.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with children, staff, and parents.
• Knowledge of SEND, including common conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, or speech and language difficulties.
• A flexible and proactive approach to working with a variety of educational needs.
• Relevant qualifications (e.g., Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant qualification) or equivalent experience.
• A clear enhanced child and adult DBS
