Your role may involve one-to-one support , small group interventions , or classroom-based assistance , depending on the needs of the pupils and the structure of the school. You will support pupils academically, emotionally, and socially, helping them access the curriculum while also developing essential life and self-regulation skills.

This role requires consistency, patience, and a calm presence, particularly when supporting pupils who may struggle with change, emotional regulation, or behaviour. Your support will help create a stable and positive learning experience throughout the school day.
