Ark White City is looking for a committed, patient and skilled SEND Co-Teacher to support pupils with additional needs, including pupils with autism spectrum disorder. This role will involve working closely with class teachers, the SENCO, families and external professionals to help pupils access learning, develop communication, build independence and feel safe and successful in school.
