Main Responsibilities Include:

• Providing targeted 1:1 and small-group support for pupils with ASD
• Supporting pupils to access both SEND provision-based and mainstream lessons
• Implementing individual support plans and behaviour strategies

Why Work With This School?

• A supportive and collaborative staff team with a strong focus on inclusion
• Experienced leadership and SENCO support
• Access to excellent CPD and autism-specific training opportunities

How to Apply: If you are an experienced SEND Teaching Assistant with a strong background supporting pupils with ASD, and you are looking to make a meaningful impact within a mainstream primary SEND provision, we would love to hear from you.
