• Be able to provide consistent and unwavering care and support to a group of students, taking a lead in running activities and leading a small team.
• Demonstrated success in promoting learning and student development, including assessing and recording progress.
• Strong emotional resilience and professional maturity.
• Commitment to trauma-informed care principles.
• Maths and English GCSE at a grade 4/C or above.
• The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check.
• Previous experience supporting students with social, emotional, or mental health (SEMH) needs, such as in foster care, residential children's homes, social care, or other complex care settings.

• Clear growth pathways in a supportive, inclusive environment.
• Enrolment in pension schemes and other benefits including life cover and family protection.
• Counselling, EAP, 24/7 Virtual GP (via Livi), gym discounts, eyecare, generous leave, flexible working, and enhanced parental leave.
