Within this specialist provision you will be supporting and differentiating the learning for young people who have a diagnosis of Emotional, Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) some of which have a specific diagnosis of Mental Health.

However, longer term opportunities usually arise quickly for those candidates who show initiative, are proactive and receive positive feedback from their supply assignments.
