* Confident managing behaviour and maintaining consistent routines and expectations
* Comfortable teaching across different subjects where needed
* Passionate about supporting vulnerable children and young people
Experience working within SEMH, Alternative Provision (AP), PRU, and/or Special Education settings is highly advantageous, but most important is your confidence, commitment, and ability to positively engage challenging learners.
