The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

  • Experience working with children or young people with SEN (in a school or care setting).

  • A patient, nurturing, and flexible approach to support learning and behaviour.

  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.

  • A willingness to undertake relevant training (e.g., Team Teach, safeguarding, autism awareness).
