Autism Support Assistant

Looking for a role where you can genuinely change lives (and have fun doing it)? This specialist school in Maidenhead is on the lookout for a caring, energetic Autism Support Assistant to join their amazing team!

The school supports children and young people aged 4-16 with a primary diagnosis of Autism (ASD), alongside a range of additional needs. Every student is unique, and that's exactly how they're treated - with personalised plans, tailored interventions, and a strong focus on therapeutic support.

What you'll be doing:

• Supporting students in the classroom with their learning and development
• Helping build social skills, communication, and confidence
• Supporting speech & language development and positive social interactions
• Assisting with emotional regulation and mental health needs
• Bringing structure, patience, and positivity to each school day

Who would suit this role?

• Someone patient, empathetic, and ready to get stuck in
• Experience with children or additional needs is a bonus, but not essential
