* Provide 1:1 and small group support to students with SEN and SEMH needs
* Build positive, trusting relationships with students and their families
* Create a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment
* Support students with emotional regulation and positive behaviour strategies
* Contribute to personalised learning and support plans
* Work collaboratively with teaching staff and other professionals
* Encourage inclusion and help students reach their full potential

Requirements:
* Previous experience working with children or young people with SEN (preferred)
* A degree in Psychology, Education, or a related field (desirable)
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills
* A patient, empathetic, and proactive approach
* DBS on the Update Service or willingness to obtain a new one
* References covering the last 2 years

Why Join Aspire People?
* Opportunities in a variety of supportive school settings
* Long-term and permanent roles available
* Excellent experience for those pursuing careers in education, psychology, or support work
* Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant

If you are passionate about making a difference and supporting young people to succeed, we would love to hear from you.
