We are looking for someone who is patient, adaptable, and driven to make a positive impact in the lives of children who may face challenges in education.

Provide consistent one-to-one support for a pupil with additional needs

Assist the pupil in remaining focused and engaged during lessons

Adapt and deliver activities in line with the pupil's learning level and EHCP

Help reinforce behavioural expectations in line with school policies

Support class teachers in achieving learning and personal development goals

Essential Criteria:

Patient, flexible, and resilient approach to supporting children

Willingness to learn and adapt to the needs of children with SEND, Autism, and SEMH

Right to work in the UK (valid visa required if applicable)
