Liaise closely with the school SENCo, parents, and external multi-agency professionals.

Skills & Personal Qualities Required

Outstanding de-escalation techniques and the ability to maintain composure during challenging moments.

Passionate about holistic progress, celebrating both micro-achievements and personal milestones.

Skilled at adjusting lessons on the spot to meet shifting sensory and emotional needs.

Essential Requirements

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with proven SEN experience.

Demonstrated experience working with primary-aged pupils (KS1) with SEN/SEND (ASC, SEMH, SLD, or complex needs).
