• Monitoring pupil progress and providing regular feedback to teaching staff.
• Supporting pupils in preparing for assessments and helping them achieve individual learning targets.
• Promoting a positive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment.

Requirements & Skills:

• Excellent communication, organisation, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to adapt teaching approaches to suit different learning needs and abilities.

• 5+ CPD courses completed before placement (including Safeguarding, SEND & Behaviour) with access to further accredited training through Milk Academy.
