- has experience of working with children with ASD and/or ADHD

- can, in conjunction with the nurture team, class teacher and SENDCo, adapt learning to the identified needs of a child
- can support with the delivery of social intervention and nurture groups
- is an excellent communicator with children, parents/carers and colleagues
School can offer:
• Excellent opportunities for professional development
• Dedicated and enthusiastic staff
• ‘A school that has a calm and harmonious environment, where a smile is commonplace and where pupils are polite and courteous’ (Ofsted)
• A Christ centred, family orientated, caring and supportive ethos
Our vision to provide an outstanding place of teaching and learning is underpinned by the words of Isaiah:
“But those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings as eagles.”
Our vision for our children is that they will live life in all its fullness and that no matter what obstacles they may need to overcome, they will be able to soar on wings like eagles at Ward Jackson – in life and in learning.
