Using visual timetables, sensory resources and communication tools
Supporting pupils during lessons, transitions and social times
Encouraging independence, confidence and positive relationships
Working alongside teachers, the SENCO and external professionals

Previous experience may have been gained through:
-
Primary or specialist school settings
Residential care or support work
Youth work or mentoring
Nursery or childcare environments
Behaviour support
Autism or SEND provision
Personal experience supporting a child with additional needs
A formal Teaching Assistant qualification is desirable but not essential where strong relevant experience can be demonstrated.
