• Experience supporting young people with additional needs in a 1:1 or small group capacity

• Knowledge of SEND, including Autism, speech & language needs, and SEMH

• A calm, compassionate, and proactive approach

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well as part of the resource base and pastoral team

• A clear understanding of safeguarding and child protection procedures
