  • Work alongside the Class Teacher to prepare resources adapted to specific learning needs
  • Support the school's safeguarding and child protection procedures

Requirements

  • Practical experience working in an SEMH, PRU, or a challenging Primary school environment
  • A minimum 3 - 6 months UK classroom based experience
  • Competence in behaviour management and de-escalation strategies
  • Availability for full-time work (Monday to Friday) on an ongoing, long-term basis
  • Ability to build professional rapport with students who have disengaged from education
  • Evidence of maintaining high standards of classroom engagement
  • An enhanced DBS on the update service or a willingness to complete a new application
  • A professional and resilient approach to daily tasks

What we offer
