Monitor Progress: Observe and assess student social, emotional, and academic progress, feeding into individualised learning plans and reviews.
Collaborate: Work closely with the AP team, parents/carers, and external professionals (e.g., therapists, social workers) to ensure a cohesive approach to student support.
Manage Behaviour: Utilise positive behaviour management strategies, de-escalation techniques, and restorative approaches.

A strong understanding of nurturing principles and child development.
Exceptional patience, empathy, resilience, and a calm demeanour.
Proven ability to build rapport and establish trusting relationships with vulnerable young people.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively with students, colleagues, and parents.
A proactive, organised, and flexible approach to challenges.
Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
An Enhanced DBS check will be required upon appointment.
Experience in delivering core subjects (e.g., English, Maths) in an adapted way is beneficial.
