• Strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills
• Confident supporting a range of age groups (KS1–KS4)
• Calm, resilient, and adaptable approach
• Relevant qualifications are desirable but not essential
What We Offer

• Full-time, long-term opportunity with immediate start
• Competitive daily rate based on experience
• Supportive team with strong SEN expertise
