You will be overseeing the general welfare of those in your care and following the correct safeguarding procedures of the schools. Part of your role will include liaising with parents/carers and other outside agencies, such as medical staff.

- Recognise each pupil's individualised needs and can adapt to these
- Are able to follow the personal care plans of students in accordance with medical staff, therapists and teachers
