• Experience: Previous experience working with children or vulnerable adults (school, care, or youth work settings).
• Skills: Excellent communication skills and the ability to build quick, trusting rapport with students.
• Attitude: A patient, " которыми" approach with high levels of empathy and emotional resilience.
• Compliance: An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to undergo a new check).

In the world of SEND, progress is measured in smiles, small breakthroughs, and increased independence. If you have the heart to support and the drive to inspire, we want to hear from you. Join our team in Colchester and help ensure that no child's potential is left untapped.
