* Comfortable providing personal care and physical support where required
* Caring, patient, and confident in building positive relationships with pupils
* Adaptable, proactive, and ready to get involved in all aspects of the school day

We're… Academics!

* Your own dedicated SEN Consultant
* Access to a wide network of schools, including exclusive opportunities
* A friendly, honest, and supportive service
* 'Refer a Friend' incentive scheme - your friend earns, and you earn too!
