  • EHCP Progress Tracking: work closely with the Class Teacher to observe, record, and report on the specific targets outlined in a student's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)

Requirements:

  • A "People First" Approach: see the child before the diagnosis and committed to championing their independence
  • Resilience: ability to remain calm and proactive in a fast-paced environment
  • Previous Experience: experience in SEN, care, youth work, or a similar background is highly valued
  • Strong Communication: ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team
