If they are of classroom age and ability you will go into class with them on a 1:1 basis alongside other support workers to offer emotional support.

In class, there will also be teaching assistants and teachers.

This role would be well suited for people who are looking to do a job that is very rewarding yet challenging at the same time and who wants to work somewhere no two days are the same.

It is of the utmost importance to realise that this role is about being empathetic towards the needs of the young people in your care.

Another thing that is worth mentioning is that you will be working in a positive environment that is child-focused.

The next two weeks are all about you working alongside an experienced team that you will shadow and who will teach you how to implement all your training on the job.

Another great thing is that during weeks two and three you will get the opportunity to speak with senior staff members on a regular basis to keep track of your progress and help you succeed in your new role.
