• Designing and adapting lesson plans to meet individual needs, including EHCP and PEP targets

• Encouraging engagement, confidence, and motivation through supportive teaching approaches

• Working closely with Virtual Schools, carers, social workers, and education settings to ensure joined-up support

• Monitoring and recording student progress and contributing to ongoing educational planning

• Can adapt their teaching methods to suit different abilities and learning styles

• Are patient, reliable, and committed to helping young people succeed

• Hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a vehicle to travel across North Yorkshire
