- Team Leadership: The ability to lead a dedicated team of Teaching Assistants to improve educational outcomes for all, ensuring a seamless blend of education and personal care.

- Resilience: Being a calm, steady energy to the classroom, providing a sense of security for pupils with complex medical and physical needs.
- Humour: A genuine love for the joy and unpredictability of working within a special school community.
- Organisation: An understanding of the importance of providing predictable, well-organised routines to ensure our pupils feel psychologically safe in their learning environment.

Our curriculum is bespoke, experiential, and designed around the developmental stages of our pupils. In this role, you will be the architect of a classroom environment that brings our six core values to life:
- I am ME: You will celebrate the uniqueness of every child, ensuring their EHCP provision and short-term outcomes are met through creative, individualised planning.
- I am SAFE: You will lead a classroom rooted in our school values, using high expectations for health and safety, robust Moving and Handling routines and implementing individual MDT targets and individual care plans.
- I am CURIOUS: You will follow our school curriculum to design learning opportunities that spark engagement and an inquisitive spirit.
- I am NURTURED: You will foster a team culture where staff and pupils alike feel respected, valued, and advocated for.
- I BELONG: You will ensure your classroom is an inclusive hub where every child contributes positively to our school community.
- I am PREPARED: You will use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) strategies to support pupil’s understanding of the world around them (e.g.touch cues, body signs, objects of reference (OOR), eye gaze and symbol system).
