What We’re Looking For:

* Previous experience supporting children or young people with SEND (essential)

* Empathy, patience, and a proactive attitude

* Excellent communication and teamwork skills

* A genuine commitment to inclusion, safeguarding, and helping every child thrive

Additional training in Autism, SEMH, Makaton, or PECS would be advantageous.

The Schools:

You’ll be working in a network of specialist SEN schools across Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, and Northumberland.
These schools are dedicated to providing high-quality, tailored education for pupils with a wide range of needs. Each one offers a warm, inclusive, and supportive community where staff are passionate about making every child feel valued, respected, and empowered to achieve their best.
