About The Role

The school supports primary-aged pupils with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Many pupils are pre-verbal and require consistent support throughout the school day to help them access learning, communication, and social development opportunities.

• Ability to work effectively as part of a team

Working Hours

• Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday: 9:00am - 3:30pm
• Thursday: 9:00am - 4:30pm (staff training/twilight session)

Staff are expected to be on site and ready to support pupils at the start of their designated working day.

Why Apply?

• Rewarding and meaningful work
• Supportive school environment
• Opportunity to develop valuable SEND experience
• Temp-to-perm pathway for the right candidates
• Immediate starts available
