*** 'Good' Primary School, Selly Oak

*** SEN support - Autism, ADHD and EBD

Day to day:

Work 1:1 and in small groups with pupils who have Autism, ADHD and EBD. You'll structure tasks into simple steps, use visual schedules/now-next prompts, and scaffold transitions so lessons feel predictable. Blend in-class support with short withdrawal sessions focused on communication, regulation and core literacy/numeracy. Record crisp notes and agree next actions with the class teacher and SENCO.

About you:

Calm under pressure, clear in your language, and consistent with boundaries. You follow support plans, spot triggers early, and adjust your approach without fuss to keep pupils learning.

Requirements

• - Degree - 2:2 or above in any subject.
• - Communication - Confident verbal and written skills.
• - Enhanced DBS - Held already or willingness to obtain.
• - Desire to work in education/with children - Genuine interest in SEN, behaviour and pupil wellbeing.
• - Experience working with children - Relevant experience (SEN support, mentoring, tutoring, volunteering) is desirable but not essential.

The School:

This 'Good' Selly Oak primary serves a mixed local intake and keeps classrooms calm through straightforward, consistent routines. Inclusion is embedded: the SEN team runs regular plan-do-review cycles, provides ready-to-use visuals and sensory tools, and maintains access to regulation spaces for pupils who need a reset. Reading is front and centre (systematic phonics and daily guided reading), while maths follows a small-steps sequence with frequent retrieval and practical models. Teams co-plan and share intervention packs, model answers and quick observation templates - so you're never starting from scratch. New colleagues receive a structured induction, weekly bite-size CPD and short coaching drop‑ins with precise, usable next moves, giving you the conditions to show impact quickly and build a strong portfolio for Educational Psychology or ITT routes.
