About the post:
We are looking for a very special SEN Kindergarten Assistant to join our team. The role is to offer 4 days a week support for a child in our setting with complex needs and an EHCP in process. Applicants must be willing to deliver personal care if required. Whilst previous experience might be an advantage, more important to us is finding someone who can champion this child’s needs and help them make the most of everything that our school has to offer.
Working alongside the Kindergarten Teacher, you will need to be astute and perceptive, able to quickly grasp what support the child needs to enable them to make strides in all aspects of their learning. You will need to be flexible and creative, so that you can adapt and deliver that support effectively.
