One position will be permanent and the other two positions will be temporary for 12 months when they will be reviewed subject to budget funding. Although all applicants should be flexible to work across the school, one vacancy will be in primary (year 1 to year 6) with MLD/SEMH pupils. The other two positions will be in seniors (year 7 to year 11) with SLD/ASD pupils. An interest/experience in CLL (Communication, Language and Literacy) would be desirable.
