Job Description

Job Opening: Autism Specialist Assistant
Location: Abingdon, Oxfordshire
Salary: 83.50 - 90 per day (subject to experience) Full time, Monday - Friday, Term Time only.

Are you the kind of person who believes every child deserves their own unique path to shine? This primary school in Abingdon is looking for an Autism Specialist Assistant to support and guide students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other special educational needs (SEN). If you're ready to be the one who understands each child's individual needs and knows their "strengths" from their "struggles," then you might just be the right fit!

• Work closely with students to provide tailored educational support that meets their unique development needs.
• Be that positive, understanding presence in the classroom, helping to ensure that every child feels included, valued, and empowered to learn.
• Collaborate with teachers to adapt lessons and activities, making learning accessible and engaging for students with ASD and other SEN.

• Experience: At least 2 years in a classroom, SEN, or other child-focused setting.
• Expertise: Previous experience with Autism and SEN is preferred-someone who gets that some students think a little differently (who doesn't appreciate a creative approach?).
• Attitude: Patient, understanding, and ready to bring out the best in each student-come rain or, well, British weather!

• Be Part of a Welcoming Community: In Abingdon, we believe "community" isn't just a word-it's how we approach every day. We've got the school spirit of the Abingdon bun-throwing tradition and a knack for celebrating each child's little wins.
• Make a Real Impact: You'll witness those lightbulb moments, whether it's helping a student connect with a lesson or boosting their self-confidence.
• Grow Professionally: Receive ongoing support and development, so you're not just helping students grow, but building a rewarding career too.
