- Calm, compassionate and consistent, with a child-centred approach.
- Willing to undertake training in areas such as safeguarding, autism support and personal care.
- Able to work effectively as part of a team and communicate clearly with staff and parents.
- Comfortable with elements of personal care.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference during a crucial stage of a child's development. If you're committed to inclusion and helping every child achieve their potential, we'd love to hear from you.
