You will play a vital role throughout the school developing children's educational, emotional and social development by working with groups of children in a resource base offering a more tailored approach to their learning.

- Providing one to one support during class.
- Reinforcing learning objectives set by the teacher.
- Assisting with literacy and numerical tasks breaking them down into more manageable steps.
- Understanding the individual needs of pupils to best support them in class.
- Helping pupils transition between the resource base and mainstream schooling.
Requirements:
- Previous experience working with SEND children.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to engage with the pupil, parents and colleagues effectively.
