About the Setting

You will be working within a supportive, specialised provision that supports young people with a range of additional needs, including SEMH, Autism, communication differences, and complex learning profiles.

• Break down mathematical concepts into accessible, realistic steps
• Use practical, real-life approaches to support engagement

• Participate in planning, assessment, and progress tracking
