* A genuine passion for working with children and making a meaningful impact in their lives.

* Excellent communication skills, patience, and a compassionate approach to supporting children with diverse needs.

* A strong desire to gain practical experience in special educational needs (SEN) and child development.

* Ability to work collaboratively with school staff and other professionals to create a nurturing and supportive environment.

Why Work With Us?

* Continuous Learning: Access free, certified CPD training courses to enhance your skills. We have an exclusive partnership with the National College, giving you access to over 2,000 certified courses free of charge.

* Supportive Environment: Be part of a nurturing school setting with opportunities for mentorship and professional development.

* Career Progression: Benefit from expert guidance as you explore a career in education, SEN, or child psychology.
