Previous experience working with children or young people, particularly within education, youth work, mentoring, sports, care, or a similar environment, would be highly desirable. Experience supporting pupils with SEMH, behavioural difficulties, or additional needs is beneficial, but the right attitude, resilience, patience, and ability to build genuine relationships are equally important.
