• Strong understanding of EHCPs and personalised learning strategies
• Confidence supporting pupils with needs such as ASD, ADHD, SEMH and communication difficulties
• A calm, consistent and nurturing approach to behaviour and emotional regulation
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with families and multi-agency professionals
