  • Helping pupils manage emotions and classroom expectations.
  • Promoting independence and problem-solving skills.
  • Working collaboratively with teachers and support professionals.

  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  • A calm and patient approach.
  • Confidence responding to different behaviours and needs.
  • Enthusiasm for helping others achieve their potential.
  • Reliability, flexibility and a positive attitude.

Previous classroom experience is beneficial but not essential.
