• Supporting pupils with a range of additional needs, helping them grow both academically and personally.
• Working closely with teaching assistants, the SENCO and families to ensure every child receives the support they deserve.
• Celebrating progress, building confidence and encouraging independence in every learner.

We'd Love to Hear From You If You:

• Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
• Have experience working with children with additional needs, either in mainstream or specialist settings.
• Are patient, compassionate and genuinely passionate about inclusive education.
• Enjoy thinking creatively to help every child access learning.
• Believe that relationships are just as important as results.
