• Create and maintain an inclusive, encouraging learning environment that fosters confidence, independence, and active student engagement.

• Apply effective strategies for behaviour support and academic differentiation to promote both educational progress and emotional wellbeing.

• Assist with personal care and mobility as needed, ensuring all students are treated with respect, dignity, and compassion.

• Proven experience supporting children or young people with Special Educational Needs, ideally within a school or specialist setting.

• A solid understanding of key SEN practices, including differentiation, positive behaviour approaches, and alternative communication tools (e.g., PECS, Makaton).

• A patient, nurturing, and proactive approach, with a strong dedication to promoting inclusion and supporting individual learning journeys.

• Strong teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively alongside teaching staff, families, and external professionals.
