Job description

Are you confident supporting individuals with complex needs? Are you adaptable and proactive? If so, this could be the role for you.

We are recruiting staff to support a specialist school supporting pupils with a wide range of learning difficulties and complex needs.

- Assist pupils with communication, behaviour, and learning challenges.
- Work closely with teachers, therapists, and staff to deliver personalised support.
- Adapt resources and approaches to meet the individual needs of each pupil.
- Support positive behaviour and help pupils develop social and communication skills.

Who We're Looking For:
- Someone compassionate, patient, and adaptable, with a positive approach to supporting pupils with complex needs.

- A team player who can build strong, trusting relationships with pupils and colleagues.
- Flexible and reliable, especially for daily cover roles.

What's In It For You:
- A highly rewarding role where you can see the impact of your support every day.

- Professional development and training opportunities in specialist SEND education.
- The chance to build a career in a supportive, inclusive, and passionate school environment.
