• Training around Autism, ADHD and communication needs
• Experience implementing individual support strategies and EHCP targets

• Providing 1:1 support for pupils with additional needs
• Delivering structured interventions
• Supporting communication and social development
• Helping pupils regulate emotions and remain engaged in learning
• Adapting activities alongside class teachers

The successful SEND Teaching Assistant will:

• Have experience working with children or young people
• Demonstrate patience, resilience and empathy
• Have a genuine interest in SEND
• Communicate confidently with pupils and staff
