- Experienced (or confident) in working with pupils with SEMH and/or high anxiety

- Calm, patient and resilient, with a passion for supporting vulnerable young people

- Able to build strong, trusting relationships with students and colleagues

- Ideally has relevant qualifications (e.g. Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant), although experience and attitude are equally valued

Why This Role?

- Small class sizes - more time for meaningful support
