The successful candidate will work closely with teachers, pastoral staff and other colleagues within the school’s Inclusion Team to ensure that students can access learning effectively.

We are looking for someone who can uphold high expectations, promote independence and help students positively engage with the curriculum.
A key focus of this role is delivering practical personal care for students with physical disabilities, and we are therefore looking for someone with experience in supporting personal hygiene, toileting, eating and drinking, as well as other practical care needs such a physio.
