Working alongside the class teacher to provide one-to-one or small group support
Getting involved in creative, practical and outdoor learning activities
⚽ Encouraging positive play and social interaction during break and lunchtime

Celebrating achievements and supporting children through any challenges they face
Ending the day knowing you've made a real difference in a child's life

✅ Able to build trusting relationships
✅ Passionate about helping children thrive

The Difference You'll Make

Help children regulate their emotions
Build confidence and self-esteem
Encourage engagement in lessons
Create positive, trusting relationships
