• Creating safe, structured and positive learning environments wherever learning takes place
• Working closely with teachers, therapists, families and external professionals to provide consistent support
• Monitoring progress, maintaining records and contributing to individual learning plans
• Promoting positive behaviour, wellbeing and safeguarding at all times

• Experienced in supporting children and young people with additional needs
• Organised and able to maintain accurate records and reports
