• You will need good communication skills, both written and oral, to communicate well with children and adults.
• You must be patient and calm by nature, whilst being firm but fair in matters of discipline.
• Ideally, you will have some first aid experience and be willing to deal with minor first aid, though training can be arranged.
• A relevant NVQ2/3 is desirable.
• You must be willing to undergo training and work collaboratively as part of an established team.
• You must be familiar with and able to put into practice safeguarding policies and procedures.
