• Previous experience supporting children or young people with any form of Special Educational Needs is essential. This may include experience with Autism (ASC), ADHD, SEMH, speech and language needs, learning difficulties, physical disabilities, sensory needs, complex needs, or other additional needs.
• Experience can be gained in schools, specialist provisions, nurseries, care settings, youth work, tutoring, respite care, university placements, or voluntary roles.
