As a SEND Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with the class teacher, the SENDCo and wider school staff to provide tailored support for this specific child who has an EHCP. This may include supporting learning in and out of the classroom, delivering targeted interventions, promoting independence, supporting communication and social development, and helping children to engage fully in school life. Further information can be shared confidentially if required.
