5. Design and deliver bespoke learning plans
6. Lead and mentor a team of committed Learning Support Assistants
7. Oversee assessment, progress tracking, and IEPs
8. Liaise closely with families and professionals
9. Champion emotional wellbeing and inclusive practice
10. Collaborate with the SENDCo and wider school team
11. Shape the timetable and learning journey to suit each pupil’s needs
You may also teach across the wider school depending on your interests and experience.
The Details:
12. Location: New Forest
13. Start Date: January 2026
