Supporting emotional regulation, positive behaviour, and independence will be central to your role, helping pupils feel confident and included within the school community.
You will work in partnership with class teachers, the SENCo, and external professionals to deliver consistent and effective support. Observations, record keeping, and feedback will inform planning and ensure pupils’ progress and wellbeing are monitored closely.
Strong relationships with pupils and families are highly valued, and you will be supported to communicate openly and positively. The school offers a collaborative culture where staff are valued and encouraged to develop their skills through training and SEN-focused professional development.
You will:
Provide targeted support for pupils with SEN
Work one-to-one and in small groups
Support learning, behaviour, and emotional wellbeing

A welcoming and supportive staff team
