Learning & Support (SEN Autism Specialist)

Are you an experienced Learning Support Practitioner, 1:1 Support Specialist, or SEN Teaching Assistant? Are you an individual with a knowledge & interest in Autism within an Educational setting?
Pertemps Education are currently working in partnership with an Ofsted outstanding specialist SEN school based just out of Colchester. This school upholds a dynamic provision of special education, setting the standard across East Anglia for young people with autism and additional complex needs between the ages of 4 and 20 years.
The school has a very unique and refreshing approach to education, utilising occupational & speech language therapy, in addition to thereputic intervention, and well being specialists for staff & pupils alike. This is noticed immediately as you enter a classroom at the school - staff and pupils share a 1 to 1 comradery and partnership, whilst every member of the team understands that it is impossible to plan a perfect day within SEN! The school boasts a dynamic range of resources, including an indoor swimmming pool, horticulture ground, outdoor racing track, large animal therapy areas, and forrest outdoor schooling enclosures. On a busy day, the school really feels like a mini society closed off from the outdoor world (although many external ventures & trips are enjoyed monthly).
