* Confidence in managing challenging behaviour calmly and appropriately
* Knowledge of trauma-informed approaches, emotional regulation and behaviour plans
* Experience or training in physical intervention (e.g., Team Teach, MAPA, PRICE) preferred
* A patient, empathetic, and resilient attitude
* Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle - essential due to school location and travel requirements
