Interventions Assistant

Purpose of the Role

To work directly in the classroom to deliver tailored 1:1 interventions and targeted support for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP).

By expertly implementing bespoke strategies, you will remove barriers to learning, foster independence, and ensure every child is empowered to make meaningful academic and personal progress. In addition, you will assist teachers in delivering education and care to pupils with complex needs and challenging behaviours.

We offer specialist provision for students with SEMH and those who have found mainstream education difficult. Our facilities include small, nurturing classrooms fully equipped with smart boards to facilitate learning.

We provide vocational subjects such as Hair and Beauty and Construction alongside traditional curriculum areas. Our class sizes are based on a model of 4 students to 2 adults enabling us to provide a trauma led approach to both pastoral support and educational progress.

We will offer you the chance to make a real difference to young people and give you the time to plan to meet the needs of a small group of students.
