If you have an up-to-date DBS and a proactive attitude, the requirements for entry are clear and attainable.
Main Responsibilities
On a typical day, you’ll support students with special educational needs, including ASD and ADHD. You will use positive reinforcement and tailored strategies to foster inclusive learning.
