* Helping students build confidence, resilience, and self-esteem
* Making a positive impact on behaviour, engagement, and long-term outcomes
* Developing valuable behaviour management and de-escalation techniques
* Working alongside a skilled and supportive team of professionals
* Gaining excellent experience for future careers in education, psychology, counselling, social care, or youth work
* Witnessing the rewarding progress students make when provided with the right support
The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
* Experience working with children or young people in education, care, youth work, coaching, mentoring, or similar settings
* A calm, patient, and resilient approach
* Confidence in managing and responding to challenging behaviours
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
* A genuine commitment to supporting young people with additional needs
* The ability to remain positive, adaptable, and proactive in a dynamic environment
