Ideally, you will have experience working with children and young people in schools, but individuals from a residential care setting would also be considered. We'd like to see examples of where you have demonstrated strong organisation, communication, and leadership skills.
Being focused on supporting student independence irrespective of their barrier, this is an opportunity to use your expertise to mentor less experienced staff members and work through strategies which best fit the needs of the individual students.
