Monitor the student’s progress, maintaining clear records and reporting any concerns to the relevant team members.
Support the student in developing social skills and improving communication.
Ensure the student’s well-being, ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met throughout the day.

Experience working with children on the autism spectrum, particularly those with complex needs.
Patience, empathy, and a proactive attitude in supporting the student’s development.
Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with teachers, parents, and other professionals.
Experience in creating and implementing individualised strategies and support plans.
A calm and understanding approach.
