You will have GCSE qualifications in maths and English at a grade C/4 or above, or equivalent, and will have experience of working with children or young people, and ideally some previous experience of working with children with SEND.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is calm, caring and consistent in their approach, who is committed to maintaining our high standards and wants to make a difference, and who is willing to 'go that extra mile’ to better the life chances of our children.
