Your responsibilities will include implementing personalised learning and behaviour support plans, using visual timetables and communication tools, supporting sensory regulation, and encouraging positive engagement with the curriculum. You will help pupils develop independence, social skills and confidence, provide support during transitions and unstructured times, and contribute to creating a consistent, inclusive and structured learning environment. Building trusting relationships with pupils and working closely with families and colleagues will be a key part of the role.
