• Permanent Contract: Long-term job security within a specialist SEND school.

• Inclusion & Differentiation: Adapt learning materials and classroom environments under teacher guidance to ensure accessibility for pupils with neurodiversity or learning difficulties.
• Communication & Engagement: Utilise alternative communication methods (such as PECS, visual timetables, or social stories) to support students with non-verbal or limited communication skills and ease transitions.
• Emotional Regulation & Well being: Support the delivery of sensory circuits, safe spaces, and emotional regulation strategies to help students manage anxiety and sensory overload.
• Safeguarding: Maintain a vigilant approach to safeguarding and pupil welfare in line with school policies and statutory guidelines.

Candidate Requirements

• Experience: Previous experience supporting children or young people with Special Educational Needs, specifically Autism (ASC), ADHD, or learning difficulties within an educational or care setting (experience as an SEN Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, or Support Worker is ideal).
• Attributes: High levels of empathy, patience, resilience, and a genuinely positive, inclusive mindset.
• Skills: A practical, collaborative approach with a strong understanding of how to foster inclusion and independence in a mainstream environment.
• Vetting: Must hold a valid Enhanced Child Workforce DBS certificate registered on the Update Service (or be willing to apply for one immediately).
