  • Working closely with Learning Support Assistants and other professionals.
  • Contributing to review and progression planning.

  • A recognised teaching qualification suitable for further education (PGCE, Cert Ed or DET)
  • Experience teaching SEND learners or delivering Foundation Learning programmes
  • Understanding of EHCPs and person-centred approaches
  • Strong classroom management and communication skills
  • An Enhanced DBS check, or willingness to obtain one

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Experience with Pre-Entry or low-level learners
