• Are confident supporting pupils who may be non-verbal and can learn to understand their individual communication and cues
• Are passionate about creating a positive learning and development environment
• Can be a consistent and supportive adult that pupils can depend on
• Have British Sign Language (BSL) skills, which would be highly beneficial
• Want to build a career within a specialist education environment

What’s on offer?

• 5 permanent vacancies available
• Full-time and part-time opportunities
• Permanent employment from day one
• The opportunity to make a genuine difference to pupils with profound and complex needs
