• Providing emotional reassurance and building trust with learners

  
  

• Assisting with classroom organisation and lesson preparation

  
  

  The ideal candidate will:

  • Have experience supporting children or young people with SEMH or SEND – this is essential

    
    

  • Bring patience, resilience and a calm approach

    
    

  • Have strong communication skills and be able to build rapport quickly

    
    

  • Be flexible, proactive and a positive team member

    
    

  • Be passionate about supporting children to achieve their potential
