These students all have social and emotional needs and/or an Autistic Spectrum Disorder which affects how they access the curriculum.

 The post holder’s responsibilities include providing general classroom support, the meeting of the student’s emotional and social needs and liaising with other teaching staff in the development and delivery of a differentiated curriculum.
