• Supporting classroom routines, managing behavior positively, and encouraging a love of learning through indoor and outdoor activities.
• Participating in school events and activities that promote holistic development.

What We’re Looking For:

• A passion for supporting children with SEMH.
• Patience, empathy, and a warm, positive attitude.
• A basic understanding of EYFS or KS1.
• Relevant qualifications or motivation to work towards them (we can assist with this!).
