6. Supporting the transition back into education over time
Experience Needed
7. 6+ months experience in a UK education setting (within the last 5 years)
8. SEN experience desirable, particularly with ASD, ADHD, or SEMH needs
9. Ability to adapt teaching styles to suit emotional readiness and learning gaps

Someone who is:
10. Kind, patient, and emotionally attuned
11. Confident supporting learners with additional needs
12. Able to plan tailored sessions and adjust based on mood and engagement
