• Collaborate with other teachers and support staff to provide a cohesive and supportive learning environment.

• Monitor and assess student progress, making adjustments to lessons to ensure they meet the evolving needs of the students.

Essential Qualifications & Skills:

• Experience working with children with SEN, including autism, SEMH, and challenging behaviours.

• A strong passion for PE and its positive impact on students' physical and emotional development.

• Excellent communication and behaviour management skills.
