We are looking for a higher level teaching assistant to support within our specialist resource provision (SRP) for autistic children. This is a varied role and every day is different!

• Support children to complete their learning, both within the specialist resource provision and in their mainstream classes.
• Support with the deployment of teaching assistants within the SRP
• Oversee some interventions

• Work on both a 1:1 and small group basis
• Liaise with external therapists and other professionals
• Provide individualised feedback to parents
• Oversee the daily routines within the SRP
