* Implement strategies to manage behaviour positively.
* Adapt support to meet each child's individual needs.
* Build strong, professional relationships with students and staff.
* Promote an inclusive, safe, and supportive learning environment.
* Work closely with teachers and the school's SEND team.

Requirements
* A UK Bachelor's degree (Psychology, Educational Psychology or a related subject preferred).
* Previous experience supporting children with SEND through paid employment, university placements, or voluntary work.
* A genuine passion for supporting young people with additional needs.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
* Reliable, resilient, patient, and adaptable.
* Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one).
* References covering the last two years.

Why Join Aspire People?
* A dedicated consultant who specialises in education recruitment.
* Access to a variety of short-term and long-term opportunities across Manchester secondary schools.
* Competitive rates of pay.
* Ongoing support throughout your placement.
* Opportunities to gain valuable experience within education and SEND settings.
