  • Proven experience supporting children with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) or similar SEN needs

  • A calm, patient and reliable approach to behaviour management

  • A collaborative attitude and strong communication skills

  • The ability to remain consistent, responsive, and proactive throughout the day

  • A clear understanding of inclusive education and safeguarding practices
