• Collaborating effectively with teaching staff, SENCOs, and external professionals to develop and apply behaviour plans
• Monitoring pupil progress and adapting strategies to meet evolving needs and challenges
• Facilitating small group interventions focused on social skills and emotional literacy

We're looking for someone who:

• Is calm, empathetic, and exceptionally dependable
