• Build strong, positive relationships with pupils, parents/carers, and the wider staff team.
• Accurately record pupil sessions to track progress, attendance, engagement, and behaviour.
• Contribute to review meetings, ensuring support packages remain appropriate and effective.
The Ideal Candidate

• Has experience supporting children or young people with Autism and SEMH.
• Is confident using de-escalation techniques to support pupils in crisis (Team Teach is highly desirable).
• Can quickly build trusting and positive relationships with pupils.
