  • Assisting with emotional regulation and behavioural management using positive reinforcement techniques
  • Encouraging pupils'' independence and celebrating every step of progress
  • Building supportive, trusting relationships with pupils and staff alike

What We''re Looking For:

  • Patient, adaptable, and able to remain calm in challenging situations
  • Passionate about inclusion and child-centred learning
  • Confident working with children who may have communication difficulties or behavioural needs
  • Able to follow guidance and contribute ideas as part of a wider team
  • Ideally experienced in an SEN, SEMH, or classroom support setting

Why Join Us?

  • Gain invaluable experience supporting a wide range of SEND needs
  • Receive ongoing support from a dedicated consultant who understands your goals
  • Access opportunities for professional development and further training

If you''re ready to take on a role where you can inspire, support, and grow every day, we''d love to hear from you. Apply today and take the next step towards a rewarding career in education.
