• Supervise and guide pupils not following a standard timetable.
• Assist in assessing pupils’ needs and developing tailored support strategies.
• Promote reintegration of pupils who have been absent or excluded.
• Act as a positive role model and mentor.
• Encourage pupils to take ownership of their learning and behaviour.

• Understands the barriers to learning and how to overcome them.
• Demonstrates excellent communication and organisational skills.
• Is committed to teamwork and professional development.
• Holds GCSEs (Grade C/4 or above) in English and Maths.
