Location & Hours

• Support co‑regulation during moments of distress.
• Assist with personal care and toileting with dignity and respect.
• Recognise and celebrate progress that others may not even notice.

Qualifications & Experience

• Genuine experience supporting children with complex Autism.
• Understanding of sensory processing differences and regulation.
• Experience working with non‑verbal or pre‑verbal children.
• Comfortable and confident in supporting personal care.
• Emotionally steady, calm and resilient.
• Willingness to commit to long‑term work until at least July 2027.

About the School

This well‑established inclusive primary school in Brent has a strong commitment to SEND. The SEN provision space is calm, structured and thoughtfully designed.

Benefits
