Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with diverse learning needs?

A calm, patient, and adaptable approach is essential, along with the ability to build positive, trusting relationships with pupils who may require additional reassurance or consistency. Relevant qualifications such as a Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant certificate, CACHE, Childcare, Health & Social Care, or equivalent experience are highly valued, and SALT‑related training such as ELKLAN, Makaton, PECS, or communication‑focused CPD is particularly desirable.
