- The Interventions: Implement targeted learning and behavior plans under the guidance of the Specialist Lead, utilizing strategies such as TEACCH, PECS, or Attention Autism.
- The Collaboration: Work closely as a team of four LSAs to maintain a calm, structured, and positive environment.
- The Partnership: Build trusting, respectful relationships with parents and assist external professionals (Speech & Language, OT) during targeted sessions.
What We're Looking For
We welcome applications from candidates who
- Have Proven Experience: Must have experience working with children with complex needs (such as severe communication difficulties, sensory processing differences, or physical/medical needs).
- Understand the ASC Profile: Possess a foundational understanding of Autism and a toolkit of positive behavior support and regulation strategies.
- Are Resilient Team Players: Thrive in a collaborative, fast paced environment and contribute positively to our unique school culture.
- Build Strong Foundations: Create relationships based on trust, kindness, and respect with pupils, parents, and colleagues.
- Hold High Expectations: Believe unreservedly in the potential of all children to succeed personally and socially.
