* Help maintain a structured, safe, and inclusive environment.
What We’re Looking For
* Experience in a care, youth work, healthcare, or similar role.
* A patient, friendly, and adaptable approach.
* Good communication and teamwork skills.
* A genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs.
* Motivation to learn and develop within an educational setting.
