* Foster positive relationships with students, encouraging their participation and engagement in learning activities.
* Help to maintain a safe and inclusive learning environment, promoting positive behavior and resolving any conflicts or issues that may arise.
* Work collaboratively with teachers and other support staff to implement individual education plans (IEPs) and support students' progress towards their learning goals.
* Attend training sessions and staff meetings as required, actively contributing to the ongoing development of the school's SEN provision.
* Maintain accurate records of student progress and behavior, providing feedback to teachers and parents/carers as necessary.
Requirements:
* Previous experience working with students with SEN, either in a school setting or a similar environment.
* A compassionate and patient approach, with the ability to build positive relationships with students and colleagues.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
* Flexibility and adaptability, with the ability to respond to the changing needs of students and the school.
* A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
Preferred Qualifications:
* Relevant qualifications or training in SEN support or education (e.g., CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Supporting Teaching and Learning, or equivalent).
* First aid training and/or experience in providing personal care would be advantageous but is not essential.
