• Experience of supporting young people with SEND in an education, care or community setting
• An understanding of Education, Health and Care Plans and how they shape learner support
• Patience, empathy and strong communication skills
• A genuine commitment to inclusive learning and learner progress

Desirable (but not essential):

• A relevant qualification in education or support work
• Experience of working with post-16 learners

If you're ready to make a real difference to learners with additional needs, we'd love to hear from you.
