The children at Alexandra School have more complex, moderate learning disabilities. We support children to develop their language and communication skills, in the context of a broad and exciting curriculum. Some children may have difficulties associated with social, emotional and behavioural needs, and many children have a diagnosis of an autistic spectrum condition. We are committed to working together to develop our professional understanding of and approach to meeting these needs.

You would be joining a warm, committed and enthusiastic team, who perform to the highest professional standard. Staff at this school demonstrate high levels of resilience and are ready to engage fully with all aspects of school life, including supporting the children in class, at playtime, while swimming and on our annual overnight camping trip!

Experience of working with children in a school setting is not essential. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for working with children and who will be quick to learn and develop their skills.
