This would be a position until the end of the academic year dependent on funding. This would be a full time position. The role would involve working closely with a year 1 autistic child with challenging behaviour.

To be considered for this role, you must have prior experience working with autism and not be in intimidated by instances of challenging behaviour. Knowledge of Team Teach or other behaviour de-escalation techniques would be looked upon favourably, though the school are willing to provide training in this area. The ideal candidate will be an experienced SEND teaching assistant who has worked with physically challenging autistic children in a special needs or mainstream environment.
