An interest and experience in working with learners with complex needs is essential.

The post holders will support learners, individually or in groups, so that they can access all areas of the curriculum, always promoting learners’ independence. Integral to this role is the ability to produce planning to support the delivery of learning activities and assess, record and report on learners’ progress and achievement. The planning procedure will be supported by teachers where possible.
The post is open to all applicants who meet Higher Level Teaching Assistant standards or equivalent qualification/ experience.
