*Promote independence in self-care and daily living skills.
*Work closely with support staff and therapists to ensure the best outcomes for pupils.
*Create a positive, structured, and stimulating classroom environment.
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
*Calm, patient, and resilient.
*Reflective and committed to continuous improvement.
*Creative, playful, and able to bring learning to life.
*Experienced in supporting pupils with SLD and complex needs.
*Skilled in Total Communication approaches.
*Confident in recognising and responding to sensory and regulation needs.
*Highly organised, proactive, and adaptable.
*Committed to building strong, positive relationships with pupils, families, and colleagues.
What’s on Offer?
*Temporary to permanent opportunity.
*Supportive and collaborative staff team.
*Opportunity to make a lasting impact on pupils with complex needs.
*Professional development and specialist SEND experience.
*A varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same.
