At Croxteth Community Primary School, we are a close knit, inclusive, and values driven community. As a proud member of the Rainbow Education Multi Academy Trust, we are dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment where both our staff and pupils can flourish.

Our dedicated provision is for children with ASC and complex communication and interaction difficulties. It isn’t just a classroom; it’s a bespoke environment designed to bridge the gap for our youngest learners. As part of our founding team of four LSAs, you will work hand-in-hand with our new Specialist Base Teacher to shape the daily practice, the sensory space, and the inclusive culture of this brand-new hub.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will provide vital, specialized day to day support for the children within our new provision, ensuring their safety, well-being, and academic progress.

• The Support: Deliver high quality, practical support tailored to EYFS/KS1 learners, prioritizing communication, sensory regulation, and social-emotional development.

• The Interventions: Implement targeted learning and behavior plans under the guidance of the Specialist Lead, utilizing strategies such as TEACCH, PECS, or Attention Autism.

• The Collaboration: Work closely as a team of four LSAs to maintain a calm, structured, and positive environment.

• The Partnership: Build trusting, respectful relationships with parents and assist external professionals (Speech & Language, OT) during targeted sessions.

What We're Looking For

We welcome applications from candidates who:

• Have Proven Experience: Must have experience working with children with complex needs (such as severe communication difficulties, sensory processing differences, or physical/medical needs).

• Understand the ASC Profile: Possess a foundational understanding of Autism and a toolkit of positive behavior support and regulation strategies.

• Are Resilient Team Players: Thrive in a collaborative, fast paced environment and contribute positively to our unique school culture.

• Build Strong Foundations: Create relationships based on trust, kindness, and respect with pupils, parents, and colleagues.

• Hold High Expectations: Believe unreservedly in the potential of all children to succeed personally and socially.

What We Offer

• A warm and welcoming school culture built on mutual respect and shared values.

• Pupils who are eager to learn, kind, and full of potential.

• A collaborative, supportive staff team with a clear and helpful leadership structure.

• Access to bespoke professional development opportunities across the Rainbow Education Multi-Academy Trust.

• An environment where every team member is valued, supported, and encouraged to excel.
