We are looking for an exceptional 1:1 SEND Teaching Assistant to join our close-knit team and provide tailored support to a specific pupil with complex needs.

4. Collaboration: Work closely with the Class Teacher, and therapists (Speech & Language, OT) to track progress.

5. Patient & Resilient: Able to remain calm and supportive during challenging moments.
6. Observant: Quick to pick up on non-verbal cues and "triggers" to provide proactive support.

8. Experienced (Preferred): Previous experience working with SEND (Autism, ADHD, PMLD, or SEMH) is a significant advantage.
