This child requires support from a specialist, who has at least two years of experience working with children who suffer from anxiety, mental health needs and social difficulties. You will be a friendly face within school and will assist with morning lessons and lunch time (8:30am start and finishing at 1pm, Monday to Friday). You will use your knowledge to find new ways for the pupil to manage their behaviour and re-engage them with their learning.

The SENCO will be on hand to offer support and you will be given an in-depth induction and a chance to get to know the student. You will need to work collaboratively with the class teacher and offer support with the whole class as well as your 1:1.
