This school provides a nurturing and structured environment for pupils from Year 1 to Year 14, helping them develop confidence, independence, and essential life skills.

• Experience with Autism, ADHD, speech and language needs, or other learning difficulties is highly desirable
• Relevant qualifications (e.g., CACHE Level 2/3, Teaching Assistant qualifications) are an advantage but not essential

• A supportive and inclusive school environment with a fantastic staff team
• The opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people
• Long-term career progression opportunities within the SEN sector
• Competitive daily rate and ongoing training opportunities
