We’re looking for a dedicated and compassionate individual to join our specialist SEN school, working part-time (Monday, Wednesday & Friday) with pupils aged 4 to 19 who have Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), and Complex Needs.

About You:

  • Experience in early years, nursery, or similar childcare settings
  • A creative, playful approach to learning and interaction
  • Patient, adaptable, and confident working with pupils with additional needs
  • Passionate about inclusive education and making a real difference

While the role involves working with older children and young people, we’ve found that those with nursery or early years experience bring the right skills, mindset, and approach to thrive in this setting.

 

We Offer:

  • A supportive and welcoming team environment
