- Using trauma-informed and restorative approaches to build trust and positive relationships
- Creating a safe, structured and nurturing classroom where pupils feel seen and valued

- Supporting pupils to develop emotional regulation, communication and resilience
- Tracking progress and contributing to personalised learning plans
The Ideal Candidate
