Our curriculum is completely bespoke and designed to prepare our students for adulthood, so as when they leave us at 19 years old, they can make choices about their life, they can maintain their physical and mental health, and have a wide range of social and leisure activities that they can access as they move into supported or residential adult living.

Training for this role will be in key areas such as First Aid, Safeguarding and Non-Abusive Physical and Psychological Intervention (NAPPI), but will also be tailored to meet the individual needs of the students. Bespoke training is continually delivered from our Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapist and Clinical Psychologist as well as from our Teachers who are behaviour and communication specialists. This typically includes training in iPad communication and MAKATON, sensory regulation strategies and behavioural techniques, along with the underpinning knowledge of the diagnosis and needs of each student.

As a Teaching Assistant you will experience behaviours that could include hitting, kicking and biting etc, but we will provide you will the appropriate training and clothing that protects where necessary, and you will get to spend time getting to know the students alongside an experienced staff member so you can be confident in your ability to handle these situations safely. This position also involves delivering personal care, including toileting and bathing.
- We believe that students should be happy, have fun and enjoy their learning. We improve the
lives of students by supporting and encouraging them to choose activities and by introducing
them to new experiences and opportunities. We recognise that when they are happy students
are more likely to be engaged in their learning and make better progress._
