Aspiring Music Therapist Maidenhead - Learning Support Assistant role
Are you a creative graduate with a passion for supporting children with special educational needs (SEN)? Are you considering a career as an occupational therapist, art therapist, music therapist, or educational psychologist? This Learning Support Assistant role could be the perfect first step on your journey.
Join a highly regarded specialist school that caters to children aged 4-16 with high-support autism, profound multiple learning challenges, and complex needs. The school is a hub for creativity, offering fantastic opportunities to engage children through art, music, play, and drama therapy.
A music therapist in a SEN school uses music as a therapeutic tool to support the emotional, social, and cognitive development of students with special educational needs. They work closely with individuals or small groups, creating tailored music-based activities such as singing, instrument playing, and improvisation to help students express themselves, build communication skills, and enhance their emotional well-being.
This experience will help you decide if you want to collaborate with teachers in the future, understanding the challenging and rewarding environment that SNE and a mid to high autism environment provides, on a daily basis.
