Develop emotional regulation strategies.

Recognise triggers and manage difficult situations.

Build confidence, resilience and independence.

Develop positive relationships with adults and peers.

Full-time, long-term opportunities.

Weekly pay.

Dedicated consultant support.

Opportunities within mainstream Primary and SEND settings.

If you've already demonstrated that you can engage, motivate and advocate for young people, those skills could make an enormous difference to a pupil who is struggling within education.
