Experience supporting learners with SEND, ideally including learning disabilities or Down syndrome.
A friendly, approachable and nurturing personality.
Plenty of patience, empathy and a genuine passion for SEND education.
Confidence adapting the curriculum to different abilities.
A calm and positive approach to behaviour management.
Someone who enjoys making learning creative, engaging and accessible.

Why Apply?

Small class of just 5 students, allowing for personalised teaching.
Lovely students and the opportunity to make a genuine difference.
Half-day Fridays, offering a great work-life balance.
Supportive specialist learning environment.
Temporary-to-permanent opportunity for the right candidate.
