  • Work closely with the class teacher and SENCO to implement personalised learning plans

  • Use visual supports, scaffolding, structured routines and differentiated resources

  • Promote children's social, emotional and behavioural development

  • Encourage independence, confidence and positive learning habits

  • Maintain accurate records and contribute to reviews and progress meetings

  • Create a safe, inclusive and nurturing learning environment

  • Build strong relationships with pupils, staff and families

What We're Looking For

To be considered for this role, you must:

  • Have experience working with SEND pupils (in a primary, secondary, or specialist SEND school)

  • Be patient, empathetic and resilient

  • Have a strong understanding of additional needs and how to support them effectively

  • Be confident delivering interventions and supporting personalised learning

  • Be enthusiastic, proactive and able to adapt quickly
