What skills and experience we're looking for

Learning Support Intervention Practitioner (The Croft)

(Sensory and Occupational Therapy Specialism)

37 hours per week (41 weeks p.a. in total)

Salary: Grade C £22,187 - £23,670 (FTE £25,185 - £26,243)

We are seeking to appoint a Learning Support Intervention Practitioner to join our passionate and friendly team. This specialised role focuses on sensory needs and occupational therapy, involving support both within mainstream classrooms and in The Croft, our dedicated Resourced Provision for autistic students accessing a mainstream curriculum.

Working under the direction of the Autism Coordinator and external specialists (such as Occupational Therapists), you will lead small-group and tailored interventions designed to help students thrive. A key focus will be improving emotional well-being, supporting academic progress, and raising attainment in close collaboration with teaching staff. Working effectively as part of a team is essential, as is a sense of humour and the ability to build strong relationships based on students' individual interests. Previous experience with autism and a solid understanding of how it impacts learning are highly desirable but not essential.
