The Role
You’ll provide focused support to pupils with autism across KS3 and KS4. That includes in-class assistance, mentoring sessions and small group interventions targeting communication, emotional regulation, and confidence. Your work will directly help these students stay engaged, make progress, and thrive in school.
 
You’ll also liaise with SENCOs, class teachers and parents to track impact and adapt support where needed.

Great preparation for careers in teaching, psychology, therapy or youth work.
