In partnership with the parents, we wish to deliver a holistic educational experience which embraces both ‘in school’ and ‘at home’ learning. The group you will be supporting in the morning have some support needs and therefore experience of working with SEND children is essential. We are looking for someone who has a good understanding of ASD and ADHD and takes a trauma informed approach to supporting our pupils to thrive to be the best that they can be. Your role will be to assist the class teacher in delivery of curriculum whilst also supporting the pupil’s individual plans (this includes short sensory breaks, movement and art therapy).

It is important to us that you have a willingness to contribute and play an active part in our strong team ethos as our school expands and grows. We are looking for someone with experience of supporting teaching in all key stages (ideally with mixed age teaching).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
This post is initially for one year, but we are hopeful this will continue.
Our school community places the highest priority on keeping our children safe. Applicants for all posts will be subject to stringent vetting and induction processes. Our safeguarding policy can be found&nbsp;on&nbsp;our website.
