The successful candidate will work alongside the SENCO, Heads of Year and other Safeguarding Leads to ensure the health and safety of vulnerable students.

We are looking for someone with a proven track record in working with children to support their mental health, emotional, social and behavioural needs. This is a challenging position that requires a very disciplined and organised person. Each day will bring new challenges and hurdles but should provide immense satisfaction as the knowledge and ability of the students being supported improves.
