• Is passionate about supporting young people and promoting inclusion.
• Has a positive, patient and nurturing approach.
• Can build strong relationships with students and colleagues.
• Is confident supporting students with a range of SEND needs.
• Can work effectively as part of a team while also using their own initiative.
• Is committed to safeguarding and the wellbeing of all students.
