• Support pupils with social, emotional, and behavioural needs, promoting emotional regulation and resilience.
• Develop and implement individualised learning strategies that recognise each pupil's strengths and challenges.
• Work collaboratively with teaching assistants, ALNCOs, parents, and external professionals.
• Monitor pupil progress, celebrating achievements and adapting teaching approaches to support individual development.
• Maintain a positive, inclusive learning environment where every pupil feels valued and understood.

• Has previous experience teaching pupils with Additional Learning Needs.
• Has a strong understanding of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their impact on learning, behaviour, and emotional development.
• Is experienced in implementing trauma-informed teaching practices.
• Demonstrates patience, empathy, resilience, and excellent behaviour management skills.
• Can adapt teaching methods to meet a wide range of individual learning needs.
• Has experience working in ALN schools, specialist provisions, or alternative education settings (highly desirable).
• Holds an Enhanced DBS certificate or is willing to apply for one.
• Is registered with the Education Workforce Council (EWC) or willing to complete registration.
