  • Build positive relationships with pupils, families and colleagues to support positive outcomes.
  • Contribute to a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment while promoting the school's values and expectations.

  • Experience working with, supporting or caring for children within a school or similar setting.
  • GCSE English and Maths (Grade 4/C or above) or equivalent.
  • An understanding of SEND, inclusion and strategies that support children with additional needs.
  • The ability to build positive and professional relationships with pupils, colleagues and families.
  • Strong communication, teamwork and organisational skills.
  • A positive, resilient and solution-focused approach to supporting children.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
