Job description

Are you enthusiastic about supporting the mental health and well-being of children and young people?

Do you have experience supporting individuals who may find it difficult to build social and emotional relationships?

You will work alongside the class teacher to ensure the appropriate support is in place for the students.

This full-time position offers comprehensive support, guidance, and opportunities for additional training. It's an excellent opportunity for those with experience supporting pupils in school or alternative settings, especially those with SEND and complex needs, though candidates without previous experience will also be considered.
