* Liaising with pastoral teams, SENCOs, and teaching staff
* Encouraging attendance, engagement, and confidence
What you’ll need:
* Experience supporting children or young people (school-based or not!)
* Empathy, resilience, and a calm, grounded approach
* Strong communication and de-escalation skills
* An enhanced DBS on the Update Service – or we’ll help you apply for one quickly if needed
What we offer:
* Weekly PAYE pay – no umbrella deductions
* FREE Thrive training and access to our CPD Academy
