The main responsibility of this role is to provide one-to-one support and care to a pupil in Key Stage 1 with special education needs.

With the support of the wider school team, the postholder will support the child to remain regulated and safe throughout the school day. We have forged strong relationships with external specialists and professionals who have built a good understanding of the child’s needs and how best to meet them – the postholder will benefit from access to this support and knowledge. It is important that the postholder is able to quickly build strong relationships with colleagues and the child’s parents to ensurethat a team approach is taken to providing the best possible provision and support for the child.

This is a challenging, physically demanding but incredibly rewarding position. We are looking for somebody who is deeply caring, patient, calm, reflective and willing to learn.
