• Encouraging students to build confidence, independence and practical skills.
• Helping to maintain a safe, inclusive and encouraging learning environment.
• Supporting learners in line with their individual EHCP requirements.

Essential:

• Experience of supporting learners with special educational needs
• An understanding of what an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) is and how it informs support
• Confidence working both one to one and within a classroom setting
• An enhanced DBS on the Update Service
• Patience, encouragement and a genuine commitment to inclusive education

If you're ready to make a genuine difference to learners with additional needs, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and help students build the confidence and independence to reach their goals.
