About this Role

The successful candidate will provide targeted support for pupils experiencing barriers to learning, helping them to engage positively with lessons and make progress both academically and personally. Working closely with teaching staff and pastoral teams, you will contribute to creating a calm, structured and nurturing environment that promotes confidence, independence and successful learning outcomes. Whilst working closely with pupils, either individually or in small groups, the aim is to provide short term support which helps the pupil to reintegrate with their peers in the classroom.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate patience, empathy and excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with pupils who may present with a range of additional needs. They will be adaptable, resilient and committed to supporting young people to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.

Previous experience of working with children or young people with Special Educational Needs is desirable; however, applications are welcomed from individuals who can demonstrate a strong commitment to inclusive education and pupil wellbeing.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive team and make a meaningful difference to the educational experience of vulnerable learners.
