• Plan engaging games and activities based on the needs of the learner/s.
• Use support-based and relationship-based approaches for the social, emotional and mental health needs of the learner.
• Completing report logs as necessary – daily and termly

Responsibilities of the post will also include:

• Reporting daily attendance through a web-based system
• Communication with parents/carers at drop off and pick up times
• Reporting of accidents, incidents, and safeguarding when necessary
