Experience supporting autism

An understanding of communication difficulties

A patient and nurturing approach

*

Strong observational skills

*

Reliability and consistency

Confidence working closely with teachers and SEN staff

Experience using PECS, Makaton, visual timetables, now-and-next boards, sensory strategies or speech and language interventions would be particularly advantageous.

The School

The school is a welcoming 2-form-entry primary with an established EYFS team and strong SEN provision.

You'll work alongside experienced Reception/Nursery practitioners, teachers and SEN support staff, with guidance available throughout the placement.

Staff value the school's friendly, collaborative atmosphere and the emphasis placed on inclusion.

The school has excellent transport connections from Wood Green, Hornsey, Tottenham, Crouch End and Muswell Hill, with Underground, rail and bus routes nearby.
