You will need to provide a high level of support when working in the classroom to help them to access the work that has been set and you will need to be proactive in anticipating when they need regulation breaks and responding in line with the school’s approaches and each child’s individual care plan.

You will be working alongside an extensive special needs team including, the class teacher and SENCO, to ensure that the children you are supporting can access the curriculum as well as having their wider needs met. You may be asked to support small group interventions as well as 1:1 and class support. What we are looking for:
• At least 6 months experience working with children with a range of special educational needs.
• A calm, and consistent approach to managing challenging behaviour.
• Flexibility to work during school hours
