Due to the specific needs of particular students with ASC diagnoses, we are looking for a dedicated and experienced teaching assistant to join our excellent Inclusive Support team. The ideal candidate will have experience and a specific interest in supporting students who present more challenging behaviours.

This is an exciting opportunity for a committed professional to further develop their expertise in this area, working with students 11-18, their parents and carers and outside agencies. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a calm and steady manner, effective communication skills and be a positive role model to all. The role will involve working closely with members of the team as well as the SENDCo and liaising effectively with class teachers and the wider pastoral support team. It will also encompass working in partnership with pupils and parents to establish effective behaviour support plans designed to understand, prevent and modify behaviours.
