• Emotional & Social Development: Acting as a mentor and guide for students, helping them to develop essential social, emotional, and self-regulation skills.
• Progress Monitoring: Providing valuable feedback to the teacher on student progress, challenges, and successes to inform and adapt support strategies.

We are seeking a compassionate and resilient individual with a genuine passion for supporting children with special educational needs. The ideal candidate will have:

• Eligibility to work in the UK and a valid Child DBS on the update service (or the willingness to apply for one).
• Empathy: The ability to connect with students on their level and remain calm and supportive, especially during challenging moments.
• A Proactive Approach: A "can-do" attitude and the ability to take initiative, anticipate needs, and find creative solutions.
• Strong Communication Skills: The ability to communicate effectively with students, teachers, and parents, and to work collaboratively as part of a friendly team.
• Relevant Experience: Previous experience working with children, particularly in a school setting or with SEN, is highly desirable.

• A competitive daily rate.
• A warm, welcoming, and inclusive school environment where your contributions are truly valued.
• Opportunities for ongoing professional development to enhance your skills and career.
• The chance to be part of a team that celebrates collective achievements and supports one another.

This is a fulfilling career where your dedication makes a tangible difference every day. APPLY TODAY and help shape a child's future.
