At least 6 months of experience working with children or young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN), ideally within an educational setting. This could be as a Teaching Assistant, support worker, or similar role.
A positive and proactive approach to supporting students, including those who may exhibit challenging behaviours. Your patience, empathy, and ability to build rapport will be crucial.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
A valid UK driving license and access to a vehicle, as the role may involve supporting off-site learning opportunities or transporting students.
In this role, you will:
Work alongside experienced teachers to plan, deliver, and assess engaging lessons tailored to the individual needs of autistic students.
Support students in developing academic skills, life skills, and social understanding.
