What you’ll do:
Provide tailored 1:1 and small-group support for KS2 pupils with additional needs. Break tasks into clear steps, use visual aids and routines, and coach regulation and social-communication skills. You’ll pre-teach key content, run short catch-up sessions in literacy and numeracy, and log quick progress notes to inform next steps with the class teacher and SENCo.

The School:
A ‘Good’ primary in Ladywood with a supportive SEN culture, consistent routines, and practical coaching. You’ll have access to shared resources and regular feedback so you can make impact quickly.
How to Apply
Send your CV and include your availability, DBS status, and two referees if possible. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a brief call and an in-school interview/observation. Early applications are advised, as the school may appoint before the closing date.
