You will be responsible for supporting students from wide ranging backgrounds with pastoral and emotional support.

- Attractive daily pay up to £75 per day dependant on experience

Our client school is of greater size and numbers in comparison to the average secondary school with over 1300 students enrol this academic year, though numbers are expected to climb throughout the year due to an inclusive intake policy. The school was recently had a positive gradual from Ofsted showing signs of improvement across the board, with behaviour and safety of the pupils a key feature. As a newly built secondary, incoming staff and students are able to benefit from excellent provisions for learning and the Principal has been at the forefront in cultivating a climate for learning in which students are encouraged to succeed.

You may be required to support the students independently away from mainstream lessons as well as supporting when students are working in a learning resource, previous experience working with LAC and SEMH in education would be beneficial.
