School facilitator required for a 13-year-old neurodivergent female in Midrand, Gauteng.

We are seeking a compassionate, patient
and experienced candidate to support a 13-year-old neurodivergent girl during
her school day. She is a bright and caring young person who enjoys connecting
with others and has always been highly social. She thrives on warm, nurturing
relationships and responds particularly well to trusted adults who provide
consistency, encouragement and emotional safety. Recently, she has experienced
increased anxiety and has been finding academic demands more challenging. She
requires a facilitator who can provide gentle support, helping her to access
learning while remaining responsive to her emotional needs. She has also been
experiencing ongoing physical discomfort, which has impacted her ability to
participate in some of the activities she previously enjoyed.

Main Purpose of the job: The successful candidate will work closely
with the learner, her teachers and her multidisciplinary team to implement
supportive strategies that enable her to participate meaningfully in the
classroom. This role requires a neuro-affirming, low-demand approach, with a
strong emphasis on building trust, reducing unnecessary pressure, and fostering
confidence and independence.

A suitable candidate will have a
genuine passion for supporting neurodivergent learners and will be confident
working independently while remaining collaborative with the wider support
team.

Job Objectives:

·        Provide one-on-one support
throughout the school day.

·        Support the learner to access the
academic curriculum using appropriate accommodations and strategies.

·        Adapt and break down learning tasks
where required to reduce overwhelm and promote success.

·        Provide emotional co-regulation and
reassurance during periods of anxiety or distress.

·        Foster independence, confidence and
self-advocacy in a supportive and respectful manner.

·        Collaborate closely with teachers,
parents and the multidisciplinary team.

·        Monitor the learner's wellbeing and
communicate relevant observations with the support team.

·        Build a trusting relationship that
promotes emotional safety and a positive school experience.

Requirements

Job Requirements:

·        Teaching and/or remedial education
qualification or relevant experience is essential.

·        Experience supporting neurodivergent
learners is highly advantageous.

·        Fluent in both English and
Afrikaans.

·        Valid driver's licence and own
reliable vehicle.

·        Patient, nurturing and emotionally
attuned.

·        Trustworthy, dependable and
professional.

·        Able to work independently and use
initiative within the school environment.

·        Strong communication and
interpersonal skills.

·        Commitment to a neuro-affirming,
strengths-based and low-demand approach.

·        Ability to commit to the role long
term.

Benefits

There will be an
opportunity to be trained by the NDC Facilitation Academy when the role
commences, and support sessions are provided for one month thereafter, working
in collaboration with the wider multidisciplinary team based at the
Neurodiversity Centre.
