* Provide emotional and behavioral support to students, implementing agreed behavior management strategies.
* Collaborate closely with teachers, SENCO, therapists, and external agencies to ensure the best possible outcomes for students.
* Attend and contribute to meetings regarding student progress and welfare, keeping accurate records and monitoring their individual development.

* Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
Desirable Skills and Qualifications:
