• Demonstrate patience, resilience, and excellent interpersonal skills
• Have a genuine interest in supporting pupils with SEND
• Are committed to inclusive education and child‑centred practice
• Are eager to develop their knowledge and skills within a specialist setting

Formal teaching assistant qualifications are not essential, as full training and ongoing support will be provided.

The successful candidate will have access to:

• Team Teach training
• Paediatric First Aid certification
• Ongoing SEND‑focused CPD opportunities
• Dedicated consultant support throughout the placement
• Weekly PAYE pay, with no umbrella company arrangements
