The role will involve working 1 to 1, in groups and with the whole class to enable a Y6 child with special educational needs joining our school, to settle in well, access the curriculum, learn about themselves, develop confidence and become an independent learner in preparation for their next step.

Please state on your application if you have a preference for a full or part time position and your preferred age range, if you have one.

• Be positive, proactive, and always solution focused.
• Have high expectations of yourself, keeping all children at the heart of your practice.

• The opportunity to be part of a friendly, hardworking, and dedicated team.
• Lively and enthusiastic children who thrive with a supportive environment.
• A wonderful school environment with extensive grounds (swimming pool, summer months only) to enhance learning.
