We are seeking to appoint a Learning Support Intervention Practitioner to join our passionate and friendly team. This specialised role focuses on sensory needs and occupational therapy, involving support both within mainstream classrooms and in The Croft, our dedicated Resourced Provision for autistic students accessing a mainstream curriculum.
Working under the direction of the Autism Coordinator and external specialists (such as Occupational Therapists), you will lead small-group and tailored interventions designed to help students thrive. A key focus will be improving emotional well-being, supporting academic progress, and raising attainment in close collaboration with teaching staff. Working effectively as part of a team is essential, as is a sense of humour and the ability to build strong relationships based on students' individual interests. Previous experience with autism and a solid understanding of how it impacts learning are highly desirable but not essential.
Crofton is a friendly and ambitious school, excited about the future of education and determined to become ‘Exceptional’. In a move to achieve this, we have joined the HISP Multi Academy Trust from April 2023. If you can nurture and support individual students whilst having the flexibility and confidence to find ways to help them engage with their learning, then this could be the post for you.
Crofton School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. References will be taken up for those candidates short-listed for interview. The successful candidate will be subject to Disclosure and Barring Service checks along with other relevant employment checks.
CVs are not accepted. Please download and complete an application form found below, and return to recruitment@croftonschool.co.uk
A tour of the school for all short-listed candidates is included as part of the interview process.
Closing Date: Noon 7 July 2026
