  • Is a team player with excellent communication and interpersonal skills

  • Has a proactive attitude and a willingness to adapt

  • Experience working with students with learning difficulties and complex behaviours

  • Experience working with young people in a residential or SEMH setting

  • Understanding of appropriate boundaries and procedures in schools

  • Passionate about giving all students with opportunity to succeed

  • Ideally holds a relevant TA qualification and/or training in areas like Team Teach, MAPA, or Thrive (desirable but not essential)

  • A chance to make a meaningful impact every day

Join us in creating a safe and inspiring learning environment where every child can shine.
