  • Work collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and support staff to maintain a safe, calm, and structured learning environment
  • Contribute to pupil progress through observation, reflection, and communication
  • Engage in ongoing training and professional development, including Team Teach

Requirements

  • Team Teach trained or willing to complete training
  • Experience supporting children or young people with complex needs (education, care, or support settings)
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • A calm, empathetic, and resilient approach
  • A genuine commitment to supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

What we offer
