You will ensure each child stays on track with their work, meets their milestones, and help the class teacher to make the classroom a fun and exciting environment. Personal care, such as toileting and feeding may also be required. If you are looking for a rewarding career where you can help change the lives of vulnerable young people, then this is the role for you! The ideal candidate will have a university degree (Psychology or Criminology would be perfect) and a C in GCSE Maths and English. Experience with SEN is desired but not essential.
