• Maintain high standards of recording, communication, and safeguarding in line with the SEND Code of Practice, Alternative Provision Guidance, and Juventas policies.
• Collaborate with multi-agency professionals and contribute to effective team working.

• You are confident in handling safeguarding concerns and managing challenging behaviour restoratively.
• You believe in giving every child a chance and are committed to building trusting, empowering relationships.
• You're organised, reliable, and ready to work flexibly as part of a supportive, passionate team.
