• Work collaboratively with support staff, therapists and external agencies to provide holistic support.
• Track progress and celebrate achievements, recognising both academic and personal growth.

• Previous experience working with pupils with SEMH needs or in alternative provision/PRUs is advantageous.
• Excellent classroom and behaviour management skills, with a calm, resilient approach.
• A genuine commitment to supporting young people to overcome barriers to learning.
• Flexibility, patience, and the ability to adapt teaching methods creatively.

Why Join Through Philosophy Education?

• A chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people.
