Candidate profile

The ideal candidate should be committed  and confident working with pupils in a SEN School setting.

This role would suit someone who can build positive relationships, adapt to different classroom environments, and support pupils with a range of learning needs.

The successful applicant will have previous experience as a SEND LSA, particularly supporting pupils with ASD and complex needs, and will be confident working within a specialist or enhanced provision. A strong understanding of EHCPs, differentiated support strategies and a child-centred, holistic approach is essential. Experience within a primary school setting is highly desirable, alongside patience, resilience and a genuine passion for inclusive education. You will be available for full school days during term time, able to commit to ongoing work, and comfortable working collaboratively as part of a specialist SEND team. Due to the school’s location, reliable transport or the ability to travel independently is important. Relevant SEND training or qualifications would be advantageous, although proven hands-on experience is equally valued.
