Full Time - Contract/Long Term - Leeds

The Role

As an autism support mentor, you will be working on a one-to-one basis with a range of children of different age groups with Autism, and other learning needs. From within the school environment, and within the community activities, your role will be to support the learners socially, developmentally, behaviorally and on an academic basis.
