* Assisting the class teacher with the delivery of engaging learning activities.
* Supporting pupils' social, emotional and academic development.
* Encouraging independence, confidence and positive behaviour.
* Working collaboratively with teachers, the SENCO, parents and external professionals where required.

The Ideal Candidate

* Experience working with children or young people with Special Educational Needs is desirable.
* A patient, caring and empathetic approach.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
* A genuine passion for supporting children to achieve their full potential.
* The ability to build positive relationships with pupils and colleagues.
* Relevant qualifications are desirable but not essential.

What Academics Offers

* Competitive daily pay.
* A full-time role for the academic year within a supportive school.
* Ongoing support from a dedicated Academics consultant.
* Opportunities for professional development and training.
* Potential for long-term and permanent opportunities.
