• Experience working with pupils with SEN, ASD, SLD, or complex learning needs.
• Early Years experience would be highly desirable, particularly experience supporting learners working within the EYFS framework.
• Alternatively, Primary-trained teachers with experience in Reception, KS1, and SEND are strongly encouraged to apply.
• A patient, adaptable, and creative approach to teaching.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• A commitment to promoting independence and positive outcomes for young people with additional needs.

What Teaching Personnel Offers:

• Competitive daily rates of pay.
• Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant.
