You will work closely with the SENDCO, Speech and Language multi agency services, teaching staff and teaching assistants to achieve and offer exceptional provision to all children. The role combines support, engagement and interaction of children in one to one, small and large group settings both inside and outside of the classroom.
The successful candidate will have strong behaviour management qualities to support the child through a person centred approach, positive reinforcement and restorative practice to encourage learning. The successful candidate will show excellent attributes towards all areas of the SEN code of practice and in particular the connection between this and speech and language. Being computer literate, an excellent communicator and having a passion for high quality Special Educational Needs provision within a primary school are essential. Experience of working within such settings or with a child with such needs would be an advantage.
