• A strong understanding of SEN and SEMH needs, with a trauma-informed and pupil-centred approach

• Excellent behaviour management, resilience, and adaptability

• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel between settings if required

• A clear and current Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
