We need an Primary SEN Teaching Assistant to start as soon as possible supporting pupils with Special Needs (SEN). Starting ASAP on a full time and long term basis at a primary school for children with special needs in the Lewisham area. Hours are 8:30am-3:30pm.

You will be required to support pupils in class as well as on a 1:1 basis from time to time.

The school:

This is primary special needs school that caters for children aged 2-11 with a wide range of special needs however Autism is the most predominant, including both low and high functioning. They have a wide range of facilities and resources to meet the needs of their pupils. Learning is highly differentiated and children are grouped by ability rather than age with no more that 8 pupils per class.

The children all have an EHCP for Special Educational Needs (SEN). The majority of pupils are diagnosed with autism and/or Speech & Language Communication Difficulties so knowledge of using PECS would be a bonus. Pupils have a wide range of needs as they are at different points of the autistic spectrum from high functioning to low functioning.
