• Sensory regulation tools and structured routines
• Positive behaviour support and consistency across staff

What the School Is Looking For

• Experience supporting children with SLCN, SEMH or SEND
• Confidence working in a Specialist HUB or SEN resource base
• A calm, adaptable and team-focused approach
• Strong communication skills and the ability to follow structured plans
• Enhanced Child DBS (or willingness to apply)
