This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is patient, nurturing and resilient, and who wants to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people.

Providing 1:1 and small-group support to pupils with additional needs.
Supporting children with SEMH and complex needs to engage positively with learning.
Helping pupils develop their social, emotional and communication skills.
Building positive, trusting relationships with pupils.
Supporting positive behaviour and helping children to regulate their emotions.
Working closely with teachers, SEN staff and other professionals.
Adapting activities and providing encouragement to meet individual needs.
Promoting pupils' independence, confidence and self-esteem.

The ideal candidate
We are looking for someone who is:

Patient, caring and empathetic.
Confident supporting children with additional needs.
Resilient and able to remain calm in challenging situations.
Passionate about inclusive education and helping every child succeed.
A strong communicator and team player.
Consistent, reliable and committed to safeguarding.
Experienced in SEN, SEMH, complex needs, behaviour support or a related setting (desirable but not essential).
Previous experience working with children or young people with SEMH, autism, complex needs or challenging behaviour would be highly beneficial.

What we can offer
A rewarding full-time position within a supportive school environment.
The opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children's lives.
Excellent experience working with SEN and complex needs.
Supportive colleagues and a collaborative approach.
Opportunities for professional development and training.
A welcoming school based in Northampton.
