• Happy to work on a 1:1 with the children but also with small groups.
• Able to follow advice from outside agencies and put it into practice in the classroom and in individual sessions.
• Able to engage warmly and confidently with parents.

Experience of working with children with additional needs would be useful, but showing a willingness to develop your knowledge and enthusiasm to work as part of our team will be viewed very positively.
