This role requires:
* An Enhanced DBS (ideally on the Update Service but this is not essential as we can process a new one for you)* Ideally a childcare-based qualification although again, this is not essential* An ability to build positive relationships and a rapport with pupils and staff.* A resilient, proactive, and positive nature* Experience in classrooms supporting students.* High levels of enthusiasm, energy and positivity when working with pupils.* A genuine passion for helping young people to fulfil their potential and flourish in education.* An enthusiastic approach and a willingness to engage with and form positive relationships with pupils.
