Work closely with colleagues to create engaging, personalised learning journeys
Help young people build confidence, independence and employability skills
Cultivating a positive and inclusive learning environment that promotes independence, confidence, and a love for learning

Requirements:

Experience working with SEND children, preferably in an educational setting
Teaching qualification (PGCE or equivalent)
A flexible, creative approach to learning delivery
Confidence working outside and incorporating nature and animals into sessions
Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships
