Your responsibilities will include:
- Planning and delivering individualised and differentiated lessons for pupils with SEND.
- Adapting the curriculum to meet a range of academic, communication, sensory, physical and cognitive needs.
- Using a range of visual, practical, sensory and communication-based teaching strategies.
- Supporting pupils to develop their communication, independence, confidence and life skills.
