• Evaluate and recommend appropriate assistive technology, hardware, software, and other aids.
• Prepare clear, accurate, and timely needs assessment reports, aligned with official guidance and key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Handle post-assessment queries from students or funding bodies within designated timeframes.
• Conduct follow-up reviews of students’ support needs when required.

What We’re Looking For:

Essential:

• At least 1 year of experience conducting DSA assessments.
• Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.
• Excellent IT proficiency.
• Ability to organise and manage your workload effectively.
• A proactive attitude towards professional development.
• Problem-solving skills and a pragmatic approach.
• Ability to meet tight deadlines and work under pressure.
• Reliable, punctual, and flexible.
