An exciting opportunity has arisen to work as an SEN Classroom Assistant at a Special Needs School in Chippenham. The school is looking for a caring, proactive and friendly individual, with a natural ability to connect with and support vulnerable children.

The school provides education for children aged 3 to 16 with a range of disabilities, including Autism, communication challenges, social interaction difficulties and language delay.

  2. Build students' confidence, self-esteem and self-belief
  3. Encourage positive behaviours through effective behaviour management strategies
  4. Ensure safety and well-being of students during activities
