You will be working closely with class teachers and the school's SENCO to provide tailored support to pupils with a variety of needs, including Autism (ASC), ADHD, speech and language difficulties, and social, emotional and behavioural challenges.

• Assist the class teacher in creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment.

• Implement strategies recommended by the SENCO and external professionals (e.g., speech and language therapists, educational psychologists).

• Support pupils with emotional regulation, social interaction, and behavioural management, using positive behaviour strategies.

• Help prepare and adapt classroom materials to meet the needs of individual learners.

• Monitor and record pupils' progress, feeding back to teachers and parents when necessary.

• Encourage independence, resilience, and confidence in all pupils.

• Supervise pupils during non-classroom activities, such as playtimes, trips, or group interventions.

• Previous experience working as a Teaching Assistant or SEN Teaching Assistant in a school setting.

• Understanding of supporting children with SEN, particularly Autism, ADHD, and learning difficulties.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively with staff, pupils, and parents.

• Ability to remain patient, empathetic, and calm under pressure.

• A genuine passion for supporting children's education and wellbeing.

• Knowledge of safeguarding and child protection procedures.

• Relevant qualifications (e.g., CACHE Level 2/3, NVQ in Supporting Teaching & Learning, Psychology or SEN-related degree) are desirable but not essential.

• Competitive daily pay rates (97-115 per day, depending on experience).

• Long-term opportunities with the potential to secure a permanent role.

• Supportive schools with a strong focus on staff development and pupil wellbeing.

• A dedicated Remedy consultant to support you throughout the recruitment process.
