This LSA role will be in a specialist alternative provision, working with children who have all been through significant traumas - all with a primary diagnosis of Autism and a secondary diagnosis of Mental Health conditions.

The students range from those who are cognitively very capable, academically, to children with a very low level of learning and who will require personal care. It's a good example of how diverse and the complicated role Autism plays in society.

Can you make the student's life just that little bit better today, keep them safe and demonstrate the value of an education to the students? You will get a great deal of SEN and safeguarding training, MAPA Training included.
- 7-17, Primary, and Secondary aged students all with EHCPs - Some of the students will have Autism and Aspergers, OCD
- Delivering Key and Personal skills to students who will be in varying degrees of engagement, each day can be incredibly different
- Physical work combined with being pragmatic, making as much academic progress as each child's context allows
- All training and support provided by the school with their excellent training system, there will always be some anti-social behaviour in these contexts.
- Number of Therapies introduced and holistic processes, a little progress is a cause for success here
- Positive engagement, giving the children a sense of acceptance, talking therapy will not always work here so different approaches required

It is vital you are sincere about your objectives and know why you want to work in the mental health sector and provide the best possible foundations for vulnerable students who have suffered several traumas and have been tragically let down by the adultworld. These roles are not easy and it takes months, years to build foundations with vulnerable students and young learners.
