Do you get a buzz out of seeing a child's small steps of progress?

Do you like working to support individual children?

Do you enjoy working as part of an enthusiastic team?

The majority of time would be spent working 1-1 with an individual child with SEN, but may also include additional support with other children in the class.

The successful candidate must have a good standard of English (written and spoken) and Maths to enable them to model and support appropriately, as well as excellent interpersonal skills. We are seeking a good team player who has a friendly, caring rapport with children. Some experience of working with children with ASD/Behaviour issues would be an advantage.

The successful candidate will need to demonstrate:

• an understanding of the need to adapt and plan activities based on a child's level of development and interests
• a readiness to learn new skills - we will provide training opportunities
• flexibility in approaching tasks
• positivity and a "can-do" attitude to supporting a child

Come and meet us - we'd be delighted to show you around so that you can meet us all.
