The students have a range of complex learning needs and traumas, including Autism, Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, ADHD, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

* Adapt support strategies to meet the needs of vulnerable young people.

Due to the nature of this role, candidates must be UK residents living locally. Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for overseas applicants.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

* A minimum of a Grade C (or equivalent, Level 4-9) in English and Maths.

* A passion for education.

* Ability to engage positively with groups of children.
