* Building positive, trusting relationships that help children feel safe and understood
* Working closely with teachers, SENCOs, and pastoral staff to create consistent support plans
* Helping pupils develop resilience, communication, and confidence
What we’re looking for:
* Experience supporting children or young people with social, emotional, or behavioural needs
* A calm, positive, and consistent approach
* A genuine passion for helping children succeed, however big or small the steps
* Thrive training or trauma-informed experience would be a real bonus (and if you’re not Thrive-trained yet, we’ll help you get there for free!)
Why join Protocol Education?
* Weekly pay through PAYE – no umbrella companies
* Free access to our online CPD Academy (including Thrive training)
* Dedicated consultant support from your local branch
