- Work alongside class teachers to remove barriers to learning and promote inclusion within the classroom.
- Support pupils during challenging moments using restorative and trauma-informed approaches.
- Contribute to the planning, implementation and review of individual support plans.
- Work in partnership with parents, carers and external agencies to ensure the best outcomes for children.
- Help create a safe, nurturing and inclusive learning environment where every child feels valued and supported.
We are looking for someone who:
- Has experience of working with children, ideally within a primary school or similar setting.
- Has a good understanding of Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and the impact these can have on learning and behaviour.
- Is calm, patient and empathetic, with excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
- Can remain positive and solution-focused when supporting children through challenging situations.
