Wellbeing Practitioner

A unique opportunity has arisen to join our friendly and dedicated support staff team. We are seeking a vibrant, enthusiastic and compassionate individual to support positive behaviour and wellbeing across our primary school.

The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting pupils to thrive, both socially and emotionally, and will contribute to creating a safe, nurturing and inclusive learning environment.
