Please note

This position is specifically tied to the pupil's attendance at our school. Consequently, the role will conclude if/when the pupil leaves the setting.

We are looking for a SEND specialist with experience in supporting children with sensory and communication needs, ASD profiles or behavioural challenges who will work on a one to one basis within our pre-prep.

The ideal candidate will help to enhance the pupils’ communication skills, promote their self-esteem, independence, and participation in class. You will support the pupil in accessing the curriculum at an appropriate level, use strategies recommended in pupil Personal Support Plans, monitor progress to feed back to the class teacher and SEN team and work closely with relevant staff and specialists to ensure the pupil can achieve their full potential and integrate as fully as possible in school life. This role also involves providing pastoral support, and you will help to promote our ethos in encouraging enquiring minds and building pupil’s strengths, interests and experiences.

We pride ourselves in fostering excellent home/school relationships with parents and the candidate will be expected to have strong communication skills and be comfortable in working with therapists, psychologists and other specialists.

Newland House and the Learning Enrichment team pride ourselves in creating a fully inclusive and safe setting, where all children thrive. Please view the attached job application pack. Candidates should pay attention to the summary of the role/person specification and explain within their application how they meet the criteria, whilst also describing what they will bring to the post from their own knowledge and experience.

Completed applications should be sent to the HR Manager by the closing date. No CVs will be accepted.

Applications will be reviewed and shortlisted on a rolling basis, and we reserve the right to interview, appoint and close the advert early depending on the volume of applications we receive. We therefore encourage you to apply at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment. We will only be contacting those candidates who have been selected to progress to the next stage of the process.

Please note that referees will be contacted prior to the interview.
