  Proven track record working with children or young people with SEN, SEMH, or behavioural challenges (e.g., in a PRU, Alternative Provision, or specialist setting).
• Qualifications:
  
  A Level 2 or Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification is highly desirable. Training in Team Teach, MAPA, or similar de‑escalation techniques is a major advantage.
• Skills:
  
  Exceptional patience, strong communication skills, and a non‑judgemental, empathetic approach.
• Reliability:
  Consistency is crucial for this pupil; we need someone committed to the daily 08:30 - 12:30 routine.
