  • Support pupils to develop independence, resilience and positive relationships
  • Work closely with teachers, pastoral teams and wider school staff to provide personalised support

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous experience supporting children or young people with SEMH needs
  • Experience as a Teaching Assistant, Behaviour Mentor, Pastoral Worker, Learning Support Assistant or similar
