Encourage pupils to develop independence, confidence and communication skills.
Support pupils in achieving the outcomes outlined in their EHCPs.

Has a positive attitude and a genuine desire to make a lasting difference in children's lives.
Pay Rate
The daily rate for this position is £95-£120 per day.

Your previous SEND or relevant support experience.
Relevant qualifications, training and specialist skills.
The budget allocated to the role by the school. While Tradewind Recruitment always strives to secure the highest possible rate for our candidates, the final daily rate will ultimately be determined by the school's available budget for the position. This means that candidates with similar experience and qualifications may receive different rates depending on the funding available for the role.
