The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

  • Experience working with children with ALN, ideally within an SRB, SEN, or specialist setting
  • A calm, patient, and adaptable approach
  • Strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills
  • Confidence supporting needs such as ASD, ADHD, speech & language, and sensory needs
  • A genuine passion for inclusive education and making a difference
  • Excellent teamwork and communication skills

  • Known for being supportive, inclusive, and forward-thinking

  • Opportunity to develop your experience within a specialist setting
  • A rewarding role where no two days are the same
