We have a vacancy to support a young person in our school, with a range of needs, including social, physical, communication and interaction, cognition and learning. The role entails supporting the student in their timetabled lessons and with personal care. Due to the additional responsibilities of liaising with external agencies who are providing intervention and for planning and preparing suitable resources, there is an additional responsibility allowance allocated to the role.

Ideally applicants will have some experience of working with children with a physical disability, but it is not essential. Flexibility, emotional resilience, and a sense of humour are essential!
