Preferred candidates will:
Have the ability to adapt and act swiftly to challenging situations
Have a high level of patience and emotional resilience.
A non-judgmental attitude regardless of a person's needs or behaviours.

The ability to keep up with changing standards and codes of conduct.
Be willing to undertake training and personal development in line with changing standards.
Every person working in education is subject to an Enhanced DBS and reference check.
