- Providing professional development for staff to build capacity and expertise in inclusion and trauma-informed approaches.
- Building strong partnerships with external agencies, including social care and mental health services, to provide the best support for our pupils.

- Has experience in children’s social care, children’s mental health, or a related area.
- Is passionate about supporting children to overcome barriers to learning and thrive in a nurturing environment.
- Has knowledge or experience of trauma-informed practices and restorative approaches to behaviour.
- Is an excellent communicator who can inspire and empower staff, pupils, and families.
- Is proactive, reflective, and committed to continuous learning and development.
