• A calm, nurturing approach and the ability to build rapport quickly
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• The ability to follow behaviour plans and support emotional regulation
• Resilience and a genuine passion for improving outcomes for children

• Competitive weekly pay, based on your experience
• A dedicated consultant for ongoing support
• Access to high‑quality CPD, including behaviour management, SEN training and safeguarding
• Long‑term opportunities with potential for future permanent roles
