  • Sensory & Regulation Support - Incorporate sensory activities, regulation opportunities, sensory circuits, Zones of Regulation and other strategies to support students' emotional and sensory needs.
  • Adaptability - Quickly adapt to different school environments, routines and student needs while maintaining a consistent and professional approach.

    • Requirements:

  • Ability to empathise with vulnerable pupils and patiently build trust and rapport.
  • Emotional resilience with the capacity to remain calm under pressure and maintain clear, consistent boundaries.
  • Strong communication and active listening skills, with the ability to manage challenging situations effectively.
  • Experience working with children or young people with additional educational needs in an educational, care or specialist setting.
  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.
  • Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is mandatory. (We can help advise on this.)
  • Knowledge and understanding of SEN, safeguarding and positive behaviour management.
