This is a varied and rewarding role combining general classroom support with targeted SEN provision.

* Providing dedicated afternoon support for a pupil with complex physical and additional needs
* Supporting learning through repetition, patience and consistent encouragement
* Assisting with emotional regulation and classroom transitions
* Helping create a calm, inclusive and well-supported learning environment
This role would suit someone who is naturally patient, kind and emotionally resilient, with the ability to bring a calm and steady presence to the classroom.

Ideal Candidate Profile
* Experience supporting pupils with ASD, ADHD or complex SEN needs
* Calm, patient and consistent approach
* Strong communication and relationship-building skills
* Able to support behaviour using positive and non-confrontational strategies
