• Promote student engagement and encourage participation in learning activities.

• Implement behaviour support strategies and contribute to a positive learning environment.

• Monitor student progress and provide feedback to teaching staff.

• Build strong, professional relationships with students, helping them overcome barriers to learning.

• Support students with personal development, emotional regulation, and independent living skills where appropriate.

• Previous experience working with children or young people in educational, youth work, care, support work, or similar settings.

• Experience supporting individuals with SEMH, SEND, behavioural needs, or vulnerable learners is desirable.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

• A patient, resilient, and adaptable approach.

• Ability to build positive and trusting relationships with young people.

• Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

• Competitive daily rates of pay.

• Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement.
