  • Has experience (or a keen interest) in supporting children with SEN
  • Is flexible, reliable, and committed to helping children achieve their best
  • Demonstrates high expectations of behaviour and supports our positive behaviour approach
  • Works effectively as part of a team but can also use their initiative
