You will support both academic progress and emotional wellbeing, using consistent strategies to encourage positive behaviour, independence, and confidence. Your role will also involve monitoring progress, providing feedback to teaching staff, and creating a safe, supportive space that enables the child to thrive. The successful candidate will play a key part in ensuring the pupil feels included, supported, and motivated throughout the school day.
