• Supporting children during transitions, playtimes and other parts of the school routine

• Building strong, trusting relationships and celebrating every achievement, big or small

This role would suit someone who understands that every child is different and is willing to adapt their approach to meet individual needs.

👩‍🏫 We’re looking for someone who:

• Has previous experience supporting children with SEN and high-level additional needs

• Ideally has experience working within a primary school, particularly in KS1 or Year 2
