You will work closely with the class teacher and the School’s SENCO as well as working in partnership with external contacts to support learning and development.

We are looking for a person who is calm, kind, patient and who:

is cheerful, positive and enthusiastic about working with children
is experienced in supporting pupils with learning difficulties
is an effective communicator with pupils and staff
is able to build and maintain effective relationships
is committed to working as part of a team
