It might mean supporting a pupil on a one-to-one basis, helping them build confidence, develop independence and engage positively with learning.

• Are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people
• Experience working with SEND, autism, ADHD, SEMH or challenging behaviour would be beneficial, but we also welcome applicants with transferable skills and a genuine passion for supporting young people.
