You will be motivated and interested in child development and keen to support learners reach their full potential.

Knowledge of a wide range of learning needs and how to foster positive relationships would be an advantage.

You will understand the need for confidentiality and be able to work sensitively to support learners and their families.

You will also be able to demonstrate an ability to work effectively within a team and on your own initiative.

You will have excellent communication skills and a positive approach to working with children.
