- A flexible and "can-do" attitude, with the ability to adapt to the unique requirements of each student.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a collaborative staff team.
- A genuine interest in the SEN sector and a desire to learn new specialist techniques and interventions.
