- Follow individual support plans and contribute to progress tracking

What We're Looking For

- Confidence managing behaviour in a calm, supportive and consistent way

- Patient, resilient and adaptable approach

- Enhanced DBS (or willingness to apply)

- Applicants from sports coaching or mentoring backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply

Why Apply

- Long-term role with a clear route into a permanent position

- Small setting with strong support and a positive staff culture
