The school supports students with a range of complex learning needs.
This particular role involves supporting students with autism (among other associated needs) so they require people who are confident in ASD and challenging behaviour.
The school is located on stunning grounds and has outstanding facilities to cater for their students' needs.
This includes sensory based rooms, swimming pool, forest school, farm animals and an abundance of outdoor space.
I have placed a number of LSA's at this school and I can confidently say what a lovely team they are and what an amazing environment it is to work in.
The role: The role of an LSA will involve a mixture of general classroom support and 1:1 work in a range of different subjects.
