Working under the direction of the class teacher and SENDCo, you will support pupils with a range of needs which may include communication and interaction difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, sensory needs and learning difficulties. The successful candidate will implement agreed strategies, contribute to record keeping and support pupils throughout the school day.

This role requires a calm, consistent and resilient individual who can build positive working relationships with pupils whilst maintaining clear boundaries and expectations.
