The role will also involve working with our Pastoral Lead, Assistant Head for Inclusion and Senior Mental Health Lead.

Our ELSA also will also help to run a lunchtime club which specifically supports children who find it difficult to socialise or do not wish to be out on the playground. We would also like our ELSA to run an after-school mindfulness club one day a week, so we are looking for someone who can be flexible.

- be ELSA trained or currently working to complete training in 2023
- have high expectations of children and themselves; be able to show initiative and work independently and as part of a team and embrace our Academy’s values
- be able to plan and deliver individual and group support programmes with resources to meet the social, emotional and mental health needs of our children
- have good time management and organisational skills keeping confidential, accurate and succinct records of involvement
- have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work with parents and staff to support children’s emotional needs
- communicate well with children gaining their confidence and trust, by being approachable and willing to listen
- have a warm personality and the ability to stay calm under pressure
- be emotionally literate themselves, with a high degree of empathy and discretion and commitment to Inclusion.
