  • A resilient mindset and a genuine passion for helping young people succeed, even when faced with challenges.
  • Strong relationship-building skills to establish trust and rapport with the pupil.
  • The ability to set appropriate boundaries while maintaining a supportive and understanding attitude.

You will have the chance to work with a variety of pupils across the school, supporting their social and emotional development.
