• Promote positive behaviour, resilience, and confidence in students, helping them to engage fully in their learning.
• Collaborate with teachers, SEN coordinators, and other support staff to deliver effective interventions.
• Support students in developing essential social and life skills.
• Contribute to creating a safe, inclusive, and nurturing school environment.
• Provide feedback to staff on student progress, helping to evaluate and refine support strategies.

• Demonstrates empathy, patience, and the ability to build positive relationships with students.
• Is proactive, adaptable, and works effectively as part of a team.
• Has strong communication and interpersonal skills.
