Recruitment Assistant (internal)
About Loddon School
Loddon School is more than a residential school. It is home for children aged 8 – 19 with profound autism, who are non\-verbal and have severe learning difficulties, resulting in challenging behaviours.
We approach things a little differently at Loddon, as many of our children will have experienced mainstream and special schools before. We offer a ‘home\-based' style of education, with children learning through play and experiencing new life skills. Every opportunity is seen as a learning moment, as we operate 52 weeks of the year, there are a lot of opportunities.
We strive to ensure each child has an enhanced quality of life. Our multidisciplinary team uses positive working methods and a solution\-focused approach to engage children in learning and prepare them for their adult life.
