You will play a key role in implementing tailored support strategies, working alongside teachers, SENCOs, and families to ensure each child receives the support they need.
A key aspect of this role is removing barriers to learning through targeted interventions, adapting resources, and providing consistent one-to-one or small group support.

- Assist pupils in developing social, communication, and life skills
- Monitor, record, and report on pupil progress, behaviour, and well-being
- Work closely with class teachers, SENCOs, and external professionals
- Foster a safe, nurturing, and inclusive learning environment
- Act as a positive role model, building strong, trusting relationships with pupils
- Support with classroom organisation and general duties as required
What We’re Looking For
- Experience working with children or young people with SEND (e.g. ASD, ADHD, SEMH, speech and language needs)
- Understanding of EHCPs and individual support strategies
- Enhanced DBS on the update service or willingness to obtain one
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Patience, empathy, and a calm, consistent approach
- Ability to adapt and respond to individual pupil needs
- A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children
