What We're Looking For:

• Confidence in managing and responding to challenging behaviours in a positive and professional manner
• The ability to support children who may arrive at school upset, anxious, or dis regulated
• A calm, patient, and nurturing approach when helping children regulate their emotions
• The ability to think quickly on your feet and adapt to changing situations throughout the school day
• Strong relationship-building skills to help pupils feel safe, supported, and ready to learn
• Experience working with children with SEMH, SEND, or behavioural needs is desirable

The School Offers:

• A supportive and experienced staff team
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
• A welcoming and inclusive school environment
• The opportunity to make a lasting difference in children's educational journeys

If you're passionate about supporting children through their challenges and helping them succeed both emotionally and academically, we'd love to hear from you!
