• Experience of working with children who have behavioural support needs with a good knowledge of behavioural management techniques and strategies.
• Grade C or above GCSE in English and Math, or L1/2 equivalent functional skills qualification.
• Hold or be willing to work towards a recognised teaching assistant qualification.
