• Conducting risk assessments and ensuring safeguarding procedures are followed
• Working flexibly (on a bank staff contract) and term-time only, with sessions typically lasting 3 to 5 hours during the school day

Who we’re looking for

• Education professionals with at least one year experience supporting children and young people with SEN and SEMH needs
• Those from Primary, Secondary or Post-16 backgrounds, including specialist SEND settings
• Individuals with a minimum of 2 consistent weekdays of availability
• Professionals with up-to-date understanding of safeguarding and child protection

• £25-£36 per hour, depending on experience
