• Monitoring pupil progress and sharing relevant feedback with teaching and support staff.
• Encouraging positive behaviour, emotional regulation and social development.

• Welsh-speaking ability is essential to support pupils within a Welsh-medium school.
• Previous experience working with children or young people, ideally in a school, pastoral care, wellbeing or ALN setting.
• An understanding of emotional wellbeing, behavioural needs and the challenges some pupils face in education.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with pupils and staff.
• A calm, empathetic and adaptable approach to supporting young people.
• The confidence to work both independently and as part of a wider school team.
• A strong commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and pupil wellbeing.
