• Building trust with pupils who may take time to let you in.
• Helping children stay regulated and engaged through the school day.
• Keeping teachers and the SENCO in the loop as part of a joined-up team.
• Helping pupils with needs such as autism, ADHD, SEMH and speech and language difficulties.
• Contributing to an inclusive, welcoming classroom.

What we're looking for

• Warmth, patience and the ability to build genuine relationships.
• Around six months or more supporting children or young people.
• Clear, kind communication with pupils and staff.
• Comfort working across mainstream, SEN or alternative provision.
• A degree in psychology or a related subject is advantageous, though it isn't essential.
