About The Role
In this specialised role, you will take lead of an Informal Teaching and Learning Group (TLG).

You will facilitate learning through play, exploration, and highly responsive interactions. Managing a dedicated team of Learning Support Assistants, you will deliver custom interventions such as Attention Autism, sensory stories, and sensory circuits to bring learning to life.
Skills Required
- Proven ability to plan and deliver sensory-rich, non-subject-specific learning tailored strictly to EHCP targets.
- Expertise in using responsive, child-led communication techniques to connect with non-verbal or pre-verbal learners.
- Experience utilising structured strategies like Attention Autism, sensory massage, and sensory processing routines.
- Strong skills in directing, guiding, and collaborating with classroom support assistants to maintain a cohesive environment.
