Confidence using or learning de-escalation and behaviour-support approaches
A calm, patient and professional approach—even in challenging moments
Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly
Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one)
A positive, resilient and supportive attitude with a genuine passion for helping young people thrive
