• Follow safeguarding procedures and maintain the highest standards of child protection.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• Experience supporting children or young people — or transferable experience from care, youth work, support work, nursing, coaching or personal SEND experience.
• An understanding of SEND strategies, communication approaches or behaviour support (desirable but not essential).
• Patience, empathy, and strong communication skills.
• The ability to work well as part of a team and use your initiative.
• A genuine commitment to helping every child succeed.

All candidates must either hold an Enhanced DBS check or be willing to obtain one.
