ABOUT THE POSITION
JOB PURPOSE

The successful candidate will work collaboratively with teachers, the Learning Support team, pastoral staff, and parents to ensure the student can fully participate in the academic and community life of the school. Experience working with neurodiverse learners (for example Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, executive functioning differences, or specific learning needs) would be a distinct advantage.
