Cover Supervisor - SEN School

Cover Supervisor - SEN School (KS3-KS4)

Prospero Teaching are supporting our client SEN school, a nurturing and highly supportive setting for KS3 and KS4 pupils who have found mainstream education challenging. Many of the young people here have SEMH needs, communication difficulties or may display distressed behaviour - and they need adults who genuinely believe in them.

What Makes This Role Special

This school is built on relationships. Staff work with compassion, humour and resilience, and pupils respond to adults who show:

• Unconditional positive regard - seeing the child before the behaviour

• A genuine desire to help young people reconnect with learning and, where possible, move back into mainstream education
