Who we are looking for

The ideal candidate should be proactive  and comfortable working with pupils in a SEN School setting.

We are looking for a candidate who can build positive relationships, adapt to different classroom environments, and support pupils with a range of learning needs.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience in an office administration or school‑based support role and will be confident working within a busy, pupil‑focused environment where attention to detail, discretion and flexibility are essential. Experience of working with attendance systems, safeguarding processes and pupil databases such as Bromcom will be highly advantageous, alongside strong IT skills and the ability to manage digital and paper‑based filing systems in line with GDPR requirements. You will be an excellent communicator who can build positive, trust‑based relationships with families, pupils and colleagues, offering clear guidance around attendance expectations while supporting pupils to overcome barriers to engagement. A calm, organised and proactive approach is essential, as is a strong understanding of confidentiality, equal opportunities, health and safety and professional boundaries.
