• Calm, empathetic, and able to build strong relationships quickly
• Confident in managing challenging situations in a professional manner
• Resilient, patient, and committed to making a positive impact
• Flexible and adaptable to different school environments

Relevant qualifications (e.g. Level 2/3 in Supporting Teaching and Learning, Psychology, Youth Work, or similar) are beneficial but not essential — experience and attitude are key!
