• Experience in an SEMH school, PRU, alternative provision or behaviour support role (or strong transferable skills).
• Calm, consistent and confident under pressure.
• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills.
• Able to follow behaviour plans, maintain boundaries and apply clear expectations.
• Reliable, proactive and committed to supporting positive outcomes for young people.
• Understanding of safeguarding and willingness to complete an enhanced DBS.
