• Assist subject teachers across Key Stage 3 & Key Stage 4 (GCSE) classrooms, ensuring students stay engaged and on task.
• Lead targeted literacy, numeracy, and subject-specific catch-up sessions to help students meet their learning targets.
• Utilise proven techniques to manage classroom behaviour, de-escalate disruptions, and maintain a positive learning environment.
• Act as a positive role model, building professional relationships with disengaged or vulnerable students to boost confidence and attendance.
