Essential:

* Experience working with children or young people.
* Ability to plan and deliver engaging, differentiated activities.
* Confidence in at least two expressive arts disciplines, such as art, music, drama or singing.
* Strong communication and teamwork skills.
* A commitment to inclusive education and supporting pupils with additional needs.
* Patience, resilience, flexibility and a positive attitude.

Desirable:

* Experience working in a SEND setting.
* Experience supporting autistic pupils and/or pupils with severe learning difficulties.
* Knowledge of SCERTS, Equals, Makaton or similar communication and curriculum approaches.
* Relevant Teaching Assistant, creative arts or performing arts qualifications.
* First Aid qualification.

Why Join Us?

* Opportunity to shape and lead expressive arts provision across the school.
* Dedicated daily planning and preparation time.
* High staffing ratios and a collaborative working environment.
* Ongoing professional development and training opportunities.
* A structured pathway for those interested in progressing into teaching.

Safeguarding

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All staff are expected to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to complete an enhanced DBS check and all other pre-employment checks in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance.
