In response to the growing cohort of pupils identified with Communication and Interaction needs, an exciting opportunity has arisen within the Inclusive Support Team for a TA3 to enhance and support the provision already in place.

This opportunity will allow a committed professional to further develop their expertise in this area, working with students 11-18, parents and/or carers and outside agencies. The ideal candidate will take a pro-active role in the development of our response to pupils with communication and interaction needs demonstrating effective communication skills and be a positive role model to all.
