• Ensuring safeguarding and risk management procedures are followed at all times
• Acting as the appropriate adult when working with learners outside school environments
• Promoting development in literacy, numeracy, social skills, and confidence
• Writing progress reports for parents, senior leaders, and external professionals
• Implementing behaviour support strategies and recognising achievements
• Supporting pupils through induction and reintegration into education
This is a highly rewarding role where you will have a direct and lasting impact on young people’s lives.
