The successful applicant will:
* Have a can-do attitude, a desire and willingness to commit to further training and the high energy levels required when working with children with autism.
* Be a confident and skilled practitioner who has high expectations of self and others and is passionate about encouraging all pupils to succeed.
* Be ambitious to support and extend all our pupils' learning opportunities.
* Commit to working in partnership with Teachers, ABA professionals, Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, other staff, parents and the community to reduce the barriers to learning that children and young people with autism face and promote excellent learning opportunities for all.
* Have good experience in ABA and be committed to continual professional development
If successful, you will work hard and be dedicated to the pupils of Forest Bridge School. You will have a unique opportunity to help shape the future of our expanding school. You will receive professional development to meet your individual needs.
