* Ability to stay calm, patient, and compassionate under pressure or during challenging behaviour.
* Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport and trust with vulnerable students.
* Confidence to manage challenging behaviours while maintaining respect and empathy.
* A good level of literacy and numeracy to support students across curriculum areas.
* Have an updated CV and an enhanced DBS registered to the update service (or be willing to apply for one).
