We are looking for someone who has good SEN experience, especially working with pupils with ASD, someone who is ‘creative’ in their thinking, adaptable and proactive in their approach. You will be working both on a 1:1 level and also as a lead for small groups of pupils who require guidance and strategies to understand academic and behavioural expectations to enable them to participate mainstream teaching wherever possible.
