Working one-to-one or in small groups to deliver tailored learning and emotional support.
Helping with sensory activities and structured routines.

Experience working with children or young people with SEND, especially ASD.
Someone who's caring, reliable, and not afraid to get stuck in.
Good communication skills and a team-player attitude.
Any relevant training (e.g. Autism Awareness, Team Teach) is a bonus-but not essential.
Why You'll Love Working Here:
The school has a great team and a really supportive atmosphere.
