• Be fully committed to working collaboratively with the wider school community to improve whole school wellbeing and mental health;
• Able to make a significant contribution to the wider life of our School;
• Experienced in working with children with social, emotional and mental health difficulties or a willingness to train in this regard;

What the school offers its staff

This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic, dynamic, inspirational and highly motivated professional to join our successful school.

You will be encouraging and supporting individual pupils to reach their full potential, whilst demonstrating a creative and determined attitude that will help motivate students. You will be directly supporting the students, as well as helping to organise the teaching and learning resources available to students and staff.
