• Be part of a dedicated inclusion team: Work alongside experienced colleagues who are committed to removing barriers to learning and ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive.
• Develop your skills: Receive training in specialist intervention programmes, behaviour support strategies and inclusive practice while gaining valuable experience within a supportive secondary school environment.
