There are 80 pupils on roll, with a range of complex needs including Autism, Severe Learning Disabilities and Speech, Language and Communication Needs.

- Maintaining accurate records and preparing written reports and evaluations
- Managing your own professional development through undertaking relevant training and sharing best practice with other support assistants
The successful candidate will demonstrate excellent communication skills, organisation and the resilience to support learners with additional needs.
Applications will be welcomed from individuals with both professional and personal experience with young people or adults with Special Educational needs. We would also like to hear from you if you have experience or training in:
- Early childhood education
- Psychology
- Social science
- Youth, community or Social Work
