Work closely with class teachers, therapists, and supportive families to foster a safe, positive, and inclusive learning environment.
Engage students in creative, interactive, and messy play activities to build cognitive and emotional development.
What We Are Looking For:
Experience: Proven experience working with children or young adults with complex SEND (SLD, PMLD, ASD, or complex medical needs).
Skills: Knowledge of sensory circuits, moving and handling, or alternative communication methods is highly advantageous, though personal qualities are key.
Attributes: A naturally empathetic, patient, and resilient nature. You should be someone who celebrates the "small wins" every day.
Commitment: Ability to commit to a consistent 5 days per week schedule to maintain stability for our wonderful pupils.
Why Join This School?
