• Naturally, you will take responsibility for implementing school policies and practices, including those relating to safeguarding and equality of opportunity.
• Additionally, you will also be expected to carefully monitor the health, well-being and personal care of our pupils, informing care/medical/behavioural support teams and any other relevant professionals of any concerns.

• Qualified Teacher status (QTLS or QTS), PGCE or equivalent teaching qualification and evidence of in-service training is essential.
• Experience of working in a special school environment and with pupils with additional needs/SEMH.
• Understanding of the Safeguarding principles and Child Protection procedures.
