• Helping the learner develop positive attitudes towards education and learning.
• Creating a calm, structured and supportive learning environment.
• Supporting a learner who may have experienced barriers to mainstream education.
• Helping the learner develop confidence, resilience and independence.
• Encouraging engagement and gradually building positive learning routines.
• Using the learner’s interests, strengths and preferred learning styles to make sessions engaging and accessible.
• Supporting learners who may experience SEMH needs, anxiety, school avoidance or challenging behaviour.
• Using positive behaviour strategies and appropriate de-escalation approaches where required.
• Monitoring progress and providing appropriate feedback.
• Building a positive and trusting relationship with the learner.
• Working collaboratively with parents/carers and other professionals involved in the learner’s education.
• Maintaining professional boundaries and confidentiality.
• Following safeguarding procedures and promoting the welfare of the young person.

Essential requirements:

• Experience working with secondary-aged learners.
• Experience supporting learners with SEND and/or SEMH needs.
• Experience providing one-to-one or personalised educational support.
• Experience supporting learners who have barriers to mainstream education.
• Ability to adapt teaching approaches to meet individual learning needs.
• Experience supporting learners with anxiety, school avoidance or disengagement would be desirable.
• Experience supporting challenging behaviour would be highly desirable.
• A patient, calm, flexible and empathetic approach.
• Ability to build positive and trusting relationships with young people.
• Confidence supporting learners who may be reluctant, anxious or disengaged from education.
• Strong communication and organisational skills.
• Reliable and consistent approach to work.
• Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
• Enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
