Experience of working with children or young people with special educational needs (in school or care settings).
A patient, compassionate, and flexible approach.
Strong communication and teamwork skills.
A willingness to learn and participate in ongoing training (e.g. Team Teach, autism awareness, Makaton).

We Offer
A welcoming, supportive staff team with a strong sense of purpose and community.
High-quality training and opportunities for professional growth.
A creative, positive learning environment where staff and students are valued.
The chance to make a real and lasting difference to young people's lives every day.
