A practical trial day will take place in the school to ensure the role is suitable for you. This is dependent on your availability to start ASAP, considering any notice period or university commitments.
Can you improve the students' lives, keep them safe, and demonstrate the value of education? You will receive extensive SEN and safeguarding training, including MAPA Training.

Expect physical work combined with pragmatic approaches to help each child make academic progress according to their individual context.
Some anti-social behavior may occur, which is part of the role when aiding society's most vulnerable children. The school provides excellent training and support.
We implement various therapies and holistic processes, where even small progress is celebrated as success.
Understanding conditions like Pathological Demand Avoidance and Pervasive Developmental Disorder is essential.
