• Have previous experience supporting children with additional needs in a school or educational setting.
• Demonstrate patience, empathy, resilience and a calm, positive approach.
• Understand the importance of individualised support and inclusive learning.
• Be confident building positive relationships with pupils and encouraging their development.
• Have strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Be reliable, proactive and committed to helping every child succeed.
• A relevant Teaching Assistant or SEND qualification would be advantageous, although practical experience and the right attitude are equally important.
