Vacancies

We seek to employ an inspirational 1:1 Special Educational Needs Assistant to work with a KS2 pupil. The role is funded through a bespoke agreement between the School and the parents. The position is for 22.5 hours a week, working daily from 8.30am to 1pm, and is dependent on the pupil’s continued attendance at the school and the parents’ ongoing funding.

The successful candidate will place the child at the centre of their thinking and work with teaching and non-teaching colleagues alike to ensure the best possible outcomes for the child. They will be solution-focused, be a strong communicator both when writing and speaking and will recognise and celebrate our community’s unique cultural diversity. This role involves building trust, offering consistent emotional support, and working closely with school staff, parents, and other professionals to help reintegrate the pupil into education. The ideal candidate will have a nurturing approach, experience with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs, and a strong commitment to supporting pupil wellbeing and engagement. The successful candidate may have previous experience of working in independent schools, but this role is equally open to applicants who have never taught in independent schools. They will enjoy engaging with prospective, current and former pupils, teaching and non-teaching staff, parents and governors. They will demonstrate excellent administration, leadership, organisational and communication skills, be able to multitask effectively in a busy and demanding environment, have a high level of emotional intelligence and empathy and be able to work effectively with all stakeholders at all times.
