You will be part of an outstanding team of staff who currently support students with a wide range of learning difficulties and disabilities across the whole school.

In addition, the successful candidate will deliver specific sessions on a 1:1 basis such as gross and fine motor control development, self esteem interventions and use of emotional scaling, interventions such as Memory Magic to support working memory, precision spelling teaching and maths interventions. These will be monitored and planned by the SENDCo. You will collaborate with colleagues to set and monitor outcomes.
