Support pupils during transitions, unstructured times and occasional off‑site activities.

Promote a calm, safe and encouraging learning environment rooted in empathy and individual attention.

Help close learning gaps through personalised literacy, numeracy and communication support.

Patient, calm and emotionally resilient.

Able to use relational and restorative approaches aligned with Alternative Provision values.

A strong communicator who can build trust and positive rapport.
