As a Support Assistant, you must possess excellent communication skills, empathy, and patience. You will be responsible for reassuring and motivating students, maintaining a calm classroom environment, and supporting students through disruptions, changes in routine, and challenging behaviours.
You will provide constructive feedback to both tutors and students and implement learning strategies to help students access the curriculum.
