The school wants their learners to achieve the best possible outcomes whatever the extent of their autism or learning difficulties. Teaching staff work closely with specialist speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and educational psychologists to recognise potential, enable learning and ultimately maximise independence.

- Assisting pupils carry out work and programmes set by teaching staff
- Helping with school events, trips and activities
- Assisting children who need extra support to complete tasks
- Supervising group activities
- Encouraging pupils to interact with others and engage in activities
The right candidate for this position will need to be flexible, patient and confident about working with young children and be pro-active in supporting and engaging pupils in the classroom. You will possess the ability to get on with children and other adults - a sense of humor is an asset!
