• Patient, compassionate, and resilient – All of the pupils you'll support will be neurodiverse, which may impact their learning behaviour and communication needs.
• Great communication skills – Both verbal and written communication is important in this role as you'll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times.
• A driving licence – Our pupils love to learn in a wide range of settings, so we need you to drive them to where they need to go.
