This is a rewarding opportunity to work closely with children across primary ages, helping them access learning, build confidence, and develop communication skills in a supportive and inclusive setting.

Your role will include:

  • Working collaboratively with teachers and specialist staff

We’re looking for:

  • Experience with BSL or Makaton (essential)
  • A caring, patient, and proactive approach
  • Experience in SEND or education (preferred but not essential)
  • Someone committed to making a long-term impact

Why apply?

  • Stable, full-time role in a specialist provision
  • Strong team support and ongoing training
  • Opportunity to build meaningful relationships with pupils

If you’re passionate about inclusive education and communication, we’d love to hear from you.
