  • Support during transitions and less structured parts of the day
  • Uphold safeguarding, health & safety, and school policies at all times
  • Collaborate with teachers, SENCOs, therapists, and external professionals

Requirements

  • Confident managing challenging behaviour in a positive and safe way
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
