What We’re Looking For:
* Experience working with young people with SEMH needs or in a similar support role.
* A calm, empathetic, and consistent approach to behaviour support.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
* Ability to work effectively as part of a team and independently.
* A commitment to safeguarding and promoting student welfare.
