* Work closely with Teaching Assistants and Therapists to provide tailored interventions.
* Foster trust and security through consistent relationships and routines.
Who We’re Looking For:

* Someone with a calm, empathetic approach and a strong understanding of attachment-aware practice.
Why Join Us?
* A school that fully embraces the Nurture approach.
* Small class sizes & strong multi-disciplinary support.
* Ongoing CPD and training in nurture-based and trauma-informed strategies.
