• Have a calm, confident, and approachable manner
• Be physically active and comfortable in a hands-on role
• Be willing to support students with personal care needs
• Communicate clearly and build strong, respectful relationships
• Be adaptable, practical, and ready to take initiative
• Experience working with children or young people is helpful, but not essential

What We Offer:
