• Working under the guidance of the Outreach Lead and Deputy Principal to deliver personalised learning programmes
• Helping to create purposeful, supportive, and inclusive learning spaces wherever learning takes place
• Encouraging positive behaviour, resilience, and engagement in students with diverse needs
• Keeping accurate records of progress and contributing to assessments and reports
• Collaborating with teachers, therapists, and wider staff to meet individual pupil needs
• Promoting safeguarding, welfare, and equal opportunities at all time.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong numeracy and literacy skills
• Experience supporting children or young people in educational or learning environments
• Experience working with pupils with special educational needs
• Confidence completing general administrative tasks
• Training or experience in relevant curriculum or learning strategies
• A flexible, proactive approach and the ability to respond to emerging situations

About Us

Fieldstone School is an independent day school, supporting the most vulnerable young people in society aged 5-16; those children who do not find it easy to fit into existing educational provision. This can be for many reasons, including a range of behavioural, emotional and educational challenges, exacerbated by being on the autistic spectrum. Other difficulties such as sensory processing disorders, attachment disorders or those having faced trauma in their lives.

It is our intention that every student will achieve their full potential in both academic and personal development. As a day school, we provide an alternative to residential education which supports our students to develop independence and social skills whilst living in their home environment.

We are part of Acorn Education and can offer plenty of challenges along with a wide range of opportunities to develop your career. Acorn Education is the UK’s leading provider of specialist education for children and young people with special educational needs.
