In this role, you will work closely with teachers and other support staff to provide tailored support throughout the school day. You will build positive relationships with pupils, encourage independence, assist with communication and learning activities, and help implement individual support plans.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is committed to making a genuine difference in the lives of children with special educational needs while gaining valuable experience within a supportive and well-established specialist school. If you have the skills, experience and enthusiasm to succeed in this role, we would love to hear from you.

This is a temporary position, unless stated otherwise.
