What you’ll do at work

Throughout the program, you will develop a diverse skill set that will empower you to make a meaningful difference in students' lives.

• Support identified children with their day-to-day needs, providing attuned and nurturing care in line with statutory guidance and individual plans. As an apprentice, you will develop the skills required to understand children’s behaviours, needs, and communication styles under the guidance of experienced staff.
• Assist with 1:1 support in the classroom, helping to adapt learning activities so children can access the curriculum. You will work alongside teachers and teaching assistants, gradually building your confidence in delivering personalised support and learning strategies.
• Help children with additional needs during before- and after-school provision, supporting them to settle, take part in activities, and transition calmly between parts of the school day. You will be supported in developing the skills to manage routines and create positive experiences for all children.
• Work closely with the school’s inclusion team, contributing to interventions delivered outside the classroom. As part of your apprenticeship, you will learn how to support small-group and individual sessions focusing on behaviour, social skills, communication, and emotional development.
