1:1 SEN support for a non-verbal pupil with autism
Are you looking to build meaningful early years’ experience before moving into teaching, SEN, or educational psychology? Could you provide calm, consistent 1:1 support for a non-verbal pupil with autism in a nurturing EYFS setting?
The Role
Provide dedicated 1:1 support for a non-verbal pupil with autism within EYFS. You will help the pupil access learning, follow routines, develop communication, and feel secure in the classroom. You will also adapt activities, support engagement through play-based learning, and work closely with the class teacher and SENCO to give clear feedback on progress. EYFS practice is built around communication, language, personal development and learning through play, while SEN support staff commonly help pupils access learning and follow individual routines.
