  * Team Teach training (desirable) or willingness to undertake behaviour management training.
  * A patient, empathetic, and proactive approach to supporting SEN pupils.

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

  * We work with multiple schools across Birmingham and surrounding areas, giving you access to a variety of opportunities.
  * A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
  * Trial days instead of formal interviews to ensure the right fit.
