• A caring and adaptable approach, with strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Understanding of safeguarding procedures and professional boundaries.
• Ability to follow directions from senior staff while using initiative to engage pupils effectively.
• A Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant or SEN-related qualification is desirable but not essential.
• Have an updated CV (covering the last ten years barring any unexplained gaps) and an enhanced DBS registered to the Update Service (or be willing to apply for one).
