The role would require the successful candidate to work alongside class teachers and nursery nurses to support pupils in their learning, play and general development. Several pupils can present with dysregulated behaviour and require support with toileting and transitions throughout the school day.

The candidates for this position will ideally have had experience working with children with similar ASN profiles in an educational setting. Knowledge of strategies and interventions to support pupils with additional needs and an ability to communicate well and work as part of a class staff team are desirable attributes for applicants. The ability to think creatively and be flexible in your approach to supporting young people are also important qualities when working towards positive outcomes for pupils.

We value joint-working with parents, carers, extended family and local community. We pride ourselves on our positive school ethos where we celebrate every individual’s success and we place a strong emphasis on a whole team approach to meeting the needs of our learners.

We are looking for two candidates to work as part of the Enhanced Support Base staff team.
