The role is varied and rewarding, ideal for someone who is patient, grounded, and committed to making a difference in young lives.
Responsibilities:
- Build strong, trusting relationships with students
- Support pupils with emotional regulation and positive behaviour strategies
- Assist with daily learning activities and social development
- Help pupils navigate challenges and celebrate progress

- Contribute to a safe, supportive, and inclusive school culture
Ideal Candidate:
- Experience working with children or young people with SEMH or additional needs (preferred)
- Calm, empathetic, and resilient under pressure
- Able to maintain strong professional boundaries and provide consistent support
- A team player with a positive, proactive attitude
- Committed to safeguarding and promoting pupil wellbeing
💬 “There’s something very special about this school—quietly determined, deeply caring, and built around the belief that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.”
