The provisions support students of both primary and secondary age who aren’t in mainstream education and you will be required to work on a small group and 1:1 basis with pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties. This role will include occasionally supporting students who can sometimes be challenging on a physical level, therefore the setting are seeking those who are experienced, passionate and trained in Team Teach.
