About the Role

This specialist provision supports pupils with high‑support Autism, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), and Global Developmental Delay (GDD). Many pupils are non‑verbal, so the role is ideal for graduates who are empathetic, observant and interested in communication beyond speech.
