• Supporting pupils to re-engage with education
• Delivering engaging and appropriately differentiated learning
• Building positive and trusting relationships

• Adapting sessions around the individual pupil's needs
• Working alongside schools, families and other professionals where appropriate
• Supporting pupils to develop both academically and personally

• Previous experience working with SEMH, challenging behaviour or vulnerable young people
• Teaching, tutoring, youth work, care or education experience would be beneficial

• Strong resilience and the ability to build relationships with hard-to-reach pupils
• Someone who can maintain boundaries while remaining approachable
• The ability to work independently and adapt to different situations
