  • Helping create a positive and nurturing classroom environment where every child feels safe and understood.

We're looking for someone who is patient, adaptable, and has a deep passion for working with children with complex needs. You should be skilled in consistent and calm behaviour regulation and have experience with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
