- Building positive, trusting relationships that help pupils feel safe and engaged
- Using positive behaviour strategies to encourage emotional regulation and resilience
- Helping pupils access learning while celebrating every achievement, big or small
- Working alongside teachers, SENCOs and pastoral teams to create a supportive learning environment
We're looking for someone who
- Has experience supporting children or young people with SEMH, SEND or challenging behaviour, or transferable experience from care, youth work or similar settings
- Remains calm, patient and positive under pressure
- Builds strong relationships through empathy, consistency and understanding
- Has a genuine passion for helping young people reach their potential
- Holds an enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or is happy to apply for one
