* Supporting students with a range of needs including SEN, SEMH, and medical requirements.
* Acting as a key worker or lead tutor for a small caseload of students, providing pastoral guidance and support.
* Maintaining accurate records, assessments, and progress reports for each learner.
* Working collaboratively with schools, parents, carers, and external professionals to ensure the best outcomes for students.
* Contributing to a dedicated and supportive team committed to changing young lives.
* Participating in meetings, training, and professional development opportunities.
* Upholding safeguarding responsibilities and maintaining the highest professional standards.

You'll Also Bring
* A passion for supporting vulnerable and hard-to-reach young people.
