• Implement EHCP targets, contributing to progress tracking and consistent support.
• Assist children with sensory regulation, emotional needs and positive engagement.
• Build strong, trusting relationships to help pupils feel safe, understood and ready to learn.
• Work closely with teachers, the SENCO and external specialists to ensure each child receives high-quality, personalised support.

• Experience supporting children with ASD, speech/communication needs or developmental delay.
• Confident using visual strategies and play‑based communication.
• Passionate about helping children develop independence, confidence and communication skills.
• A team player with strong communication and relationship‑building skills.
• Relevant qualifications (Level 2/3 TA, Early Years, Childcare, SEND) are beneficial.

• Full‑time, consistent work in a well‑supported school environment.
• Access to free CPD, including Behaviour Support, Autism Awareness, Communication Strategies and more.
• Weekly pay through our reliable, easy‑to‑use system.
