You will act as a mentor and role model, helping pupils manage their anxieties and navigate social interactions within their small group of 5. Your day-to-day will involve supporting the class teacher, leading 1:1 breakout sessions, and using de-escalation techniques to maintain a calm, safe learning environment.
