What we’re looking for

• Minimum 2 years’ experience working with children with special educational needs (SEN), ideally in Early Years, KS1, or KS2 settings.
• Fluency in clear spoken and written English (required).
• Enthusiasm, kindness, and professionalism.
• A genuine passion for supporting children with autism and a willingness to learn effective, evidence-based teaching approaches.
• Licence/Certification: DBS (preferred).
• Applicants must be comfortable working in a home with a Labrador.
• Around 20 hours per week (flexible mornings and afternoons, Monday to Friday).
• Based in Cambridge.
