About the role
The role will be based in the inclusion unit of the school. This is based outside of the classroom and is a dynamic position that requires the ability to respond to daily situations that arise. (This could be anything student related; from poor attendance, behaviour issues, anxiety, bullying or stress) Wellbeing and welfare of the students will be your priority ensuring that they are best prepared for their classroom learning.
