• Develop personalised learning opportunities that encourage progress and independence.

• Work closely with teaching assistants, ALNCOs, and other professionals to provide consistent support.

• Monitor and assess pupil progress, recognising achievements both academically and personally.

• Promote positive relationships and ensure learners feel safe, respected, and included.

• Demonstrate a strong understanding of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

• Have practical experience delivering education through a trauma-informed approach.

• Be confident supporting pupils with emotional, social, and behavioural challenges.

• Possess excellent communication, classroom management, and relationship-building skills.

• Be adaptable, patient, resilient, and passionate about inclusive education.

• Ideally have experience in specialist ALN schools, PRUs, or alternative provision settings.

• Hold an Enhanced DBS certificate or be willing to apply for one.
