• Work closely with colleagues and support staff to implement personalised education plans for each student.

What We're Looking For:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with experience or a keen interest in working with students with SEMH needs.
• A passion for supporting students to manage their emotions, build confidence, and achieve their potential.
• Strong communication and classroom management skills.
