• Maintain detailed and accurate daily records of the pupil's learning, behaviour, and progress against their targets.
• Support the pupil's mobility and personal care needs where necessary, following established procedures with care and discretion.
• Promote a culture of independence by gradually encouraging the pupil to take ownership of their learning and routines.
• Contribute to the review meetings for the pupil's support plan (e.g., Annual Reviews, IEP meetings).

• Proven experience supporting primary-aged children with complex SEND (e.g., ASC, Global Delay, specific sensory or physical needs).

• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage time effectively when supporting different aspects of a pupil's day.
