• Experience supporting ASD, ADHD or SEMH

• An understanding of emotional regulation

• Strong behaviour-management skills

• A calm and consistent approach

• Confidence establishing positive boundaries

• Good communication skills

• The ability to commit long-term

Experience using Zones of Regulation, visual timetables, sensory strategies, movement breaks and de-escalation techniques would be advantageous.

The School

You'll join an experienced Key Stage 2 team with multiple class teachers, Teaching Assistants and established SEN support, giving you plenty of support throughout the placement.
