• Working within sensory and therapeutic learning environments
• Supporting students with emotional regulation and routines
• Personal care where required
• Working alongside Occupational Therapists, Speech & Language Therapists and specialist teaching staff

• Has experience working with children, care settings or vulnerable individuals
• Is calm, nurturing and resilient
• Can build positive relationships with students
• Is comfortable supporting complex needs and personal care
