Collaborate with teachers, therapists, and support staff to ensure a consistent, trauma-informed approach

Contribute to creating a safe, trusting environment where every pupil feels valued and supported

Person Specification

Experience supporting children with SEND and/or SEMH needs (desirable but not essential)

A patient, empathetic, and adaptable approach to working with young people
