About the School
 We're proud to be working with a friendly and inclusive SEN secondary school in Rochdale, dedicated to supporting young people aged 11-19 with a variety of additional needs, including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges.

Bring a calm, patient, and proactive approach to supporting behaviour and learning.
Be an excellent communicator and team player, able to build strong relationships with pupils and staff.
Have a sound understanding of SEN and SEMH support strategies, adapting to individual needs as required.
Hold relevant qualifications in education, support, or care (desirable but not essential). To be eligible you must:

Right to work in the UK.
