At GSL, we understand the importance of sincerity in advocacy, particularly in the fields of mental health and special educational needs. By joining our team, you will have the chance to witness firsthand how mental health and autism can manifest differently in girls and boys, highlighting the socio-economic and anthropological aspects that shape their experiences.

This SEN Teaching Assistant role is based in an Alternative Provision for boys and girls aged 7-17 with an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) for Low Support Autism, Social, Emotional, and Mental Health challenges. Some of the children may display anti-social behavior towards staff and peers.
Key aim – Delivering Key and Personal skills to students who vary in engagement levels, helping to raise their academic attainment through a restorative approach.
