About the school:
A dynamic and inclusive school dedicated to supporting students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including dyslexia, ADHD, trauma, and other complex learning needs.

* Provide targeted support to students with ADHD, dyslexia, trauma, and other SEND needs.

* Assist in the development and adaptation of learning materials to ensure accessibility for all students.

* Take on a key pastoral role, supporting students’ emotional and social development.

* Work collaboratively with the SENDCo and other staff to monitor and track student progress, contributing to reviews and assessments.

* Support the development of student independence through scaffolded learning strategies and behaviour management techniques.

* Provide in-class support for students during lessons, ensuring a calm and positive learning environment.

* Act as a role model for students, demonstrating calmness, empathy, and resilience, even in challenging situations.

* Provide feedback to teachers and contribute to the continuous improvement of classroom practice.

Qualifications and Experience:

* HLTA qualification or equivalent (Level 4 or higher) is essential.

* Previous experience working with students with SEND, preferably in a secondary school setting, or a willingness to work with KS3/KS4 students.

* A good understanding of the specific needs related to dyslexia, ADHD, and trauma-informed education.

* Proven ability to manage challenging behaviours with empathy, patience, and a calm demeanour.

* Knowledge of safeguarding policies and procedures.

* Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues.

Personal Attributes:

* Calm, patient, and resilient in the face of challenging behaviour.

* Empathetic and understanding of the individual needs of SEND students.

* Positive and proactive, with a passion for helping students overcome barriers to learning.

* Strong organizational skills and the ability to work flexibly as part of a team.

* A commitment to promoting inclusion and diversity within the school community.
