You must be patient, proactive, and able to remain calm under pressure.
Key Responsibilities

* Using visual timetables and sensory breaks to support focus and regulation.
* Providing regular feedback to the Class Teacher and SENDCo on the pupil's progress.
* Fostering an inclusive environment where the pupil feels safe and supported.
Benefits of working with Vocational Recruitment
* Weekly PAYE Pay:
No hidden umbrella fees; what you earn is what you keep.
* Prime
Location:
A school conveniently located near a major transport hub (King’s Cross).
* Career Growth:
Access to free SEND-specific training, including Autism Awareness and Positive Behaviour Support.
* Transition to Permanent:
Opportunity for long-term stability with the school for the right candidate.
