Multidisciplinary Teamwork: Collaborating with Teachers, SENCOs, and external therapists to provide a holistic support network
Holistic Care: Assisting with personal care where necessary, always maintaining the dignity and wellbeing of the pupil

Requirements:

Proven Experience: A solid background in supporting pupils with SEN (Autism, ADHD, SEMH, or MLD) is essential
True Resilience: The ability to remain calm, patient, and nurturing, even during high-pressure moments
Commitment: A desire for a long-term, consistent position where you can become a vital part of the school family
Communication Skills: The ability to build instant rapport with children, colleagues, and parents
Qualifications: Ideally, a Level 2 or 3 TA qualification (or significant equivalent experience)
