This setting supports children and young people aged 4–19 with autism, communication and interaction needs, and social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Many pupils require support with emotional regulation, building relationships, and developing confidence within a structured and predictable environment.

  • Build positive, trusting relationships to support emotional regulation and engagement
  • Assist with personalised learning activities tailored to individual needs
  • Support communication development using visual and structured approaches
  • Promote independence, confidence, and social skills
  • Work collaboratively with teaching staff and wider professionals
The Ideal Candidate
  • Patient, empathetic, and resilient
  • Passionate about supporting children and young people with additional needs
  • Understanding of autism, SEMH, or behaviour as communication (desirable)
  • Experience in SEND, care, youth work, or support roles is beneficial but not essential
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Willingness to learn and engage in ongoing training
In Return, TeacherActive Offers
  • Competitive rates of pay
