- Understanding: A solid understanding of autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and/or complex physical disabilities.
- DBS: An Enhanced Child & Adult Workforce DBS registered on the Update Service (or a willingness to process one immediately).
- Travel: While the school is accessible via public transport links, holding a full driver's license and having access to a vehicle is preferred.
