Director of Education

Hayley

I have been working with children with SEN needs for four years and started as a lunchtime assistant at a free school for children with Autism in London.

After a short while and finding a passion for working with children with learning difficulties, I went on to working as a teaching assistant in a special education school based in surrey, after a few years of working in a class of KS2 ASD children I was then promoted to a Senior Teaching Assistant.

In my role this involved work also with youth Justice and those young people who were NEET (Not in education or training). Before joining Green Corridor I worked as a support worker for a local short breaks centre, where residents who attended were children/young people up to the age of 18 years old, that have a diagnosis of ASD, SLD (Severe learning disability) and PMLD (Profound multiple learning disability).
