  • Work with individuals and small groups on learning and engagement
  • Support PBS strategies and restorative approaches
  • Assist the class teacher to create a safe, structured environment
  • Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils

Requirements:

  • Experience with SEMH, youth work or mentoring
  • Confident managing challenging behaviour
  • Team Teach trained (advantage but not essential)
  • Patient, calm and able to de-escalate situations

Nice to have:
