- Promote positive behaviour through therapeutic and restorative approaches.
- Support pupils both in and out of the classroom.
The Ideal Candidate
- Experience supporting children or young people with SEMH, SEND, autism, behavioural, or mental health needs.
- A background in education, youth work, mentoring, care, support work, psychology, or related fields.
- Strong communication and behaviour management skills.
- A calm, patient, and nurturing approach.
